Serious question: How do people with Parkinson's get tattoos?
KetchupCatsup
My company makes those. Really cool technology. Love hearing from patients what they are going to do now that the tremors cease.
One guy told me after 20 years he will retake playing his guitar. Which his wife dismayed. Apparently he was never good even 20 years ago

wonder if he feels anything, perhaps in the area which is stimulated (i mean a hand or arm and not the part of the brain)

Yes, I have em too. Only seem to really happen when I try to concentrate on something. No idea why, I barely shake rest of the time

Had he smoked weed? There is an amazing youtube video about an old man who has terrible parkinsons, smokes a bit and its like it turned off
No, but it's advanced so far that even if he didn't have the tremors he still couldn't care for himself. Maybe if that had been a more 1/

Morganselah
More info please? Does it only work for certain kinds of pain? Thanks!
Usually used for nerve related pain. Example include some neuromuscular and alot of neuropathy
SerenePrincess013
I wonder if that would work for me. Bc they've got me on Baclofen, & it's doing precisely fuck all for the muscle cramps & spasms.
starshroom108
Yeah baclofen doesn't do anything noticable in my experience either
Something to talk with you dr. About. SCS are usually used for nerve associated pain not muscular. But something to talk about with you dr.
I have fibromyalgia, & a pinched nerve in my neck that they're unsure how to treat. Been living w/ nerve pain for ice 20 years now.
Have you tried a Ted's unit? I can relate. I've been diagnosed w/ idiopathic left side peripheral neuropathy for over 12 years.

For Parkinson's, they insert wires deep into your brain. Very particular electrical stimulation can take away a ton of the symptoms.

Depends on where you get it, but it is a nerve stimulator. Example: I have a supraorbital (above eyebrow) nerve stimulator.
Spinal Cord stimulator... what's NMO?
NMO= NEUROMYELITIS Optica, similar to ms (multiple sclorosis) both cause lesions on spinal cord & on brain but nmo usually comes on harder.
Well, that blows hard. I'm in the process of being retested for MS and other autoimmune disorders. 10+ yrs of symptoms, no lesions yet.

Economics problem, rather than a "valuing science" problem?
E.g. if robotics and automation reduced hours and increased work pay, upping quality of life for millions, not concentrating profits for few
That's the golden missed opportunity of the left imho. If we pushed from the start instead of fearing job losses...

Once u have the hand bob & the head bob those spoons really dont help. Its still a moving target .Theyre more for tremors not full bounce.
Do those work on rollercoasters? I've always wanted to calmly eat cereal on one.

I have calmly done it but the people behind me were not calm after they were covered in milk
LariCheltsy
They're still perfecting their bowl
OliverKlozoff1269
There's also gyro bowls that kids use. Tons of adapted equipment. Sauce:im a paraeducator in a special needs school.

Professional 'Coasters just fill a Camelback with milk and use a helmet-mounted hopper to deliver measured mouthfuls of cereal.

I have calmly done it but the people behind me were not calm after they were covered in milk

They're still perfecting their bowl

There's also gyro bowls that kids use. Tons of adapted equipment. Sauce:im a paraeducator in a special needs school.

Professional 'Coasters just fill a Camelback with milk and use a helmet-mounted hopper to deliver measured mouthfuls of cereal.

The zero g of the motion of the rollercoaster would leave you wearing it

Maybe some cereal would help..

I was offered these in order to get off all my pain meds. But I work for the government and they frown upon it

Even with an "official" script?

Limitless alcohol though :(

I hate that! Having a certain job shouldn’t prevent people from using a treatment that works for them :( esp. to get off pain meds imo
