One of the biggest Parkinson's advocates I know is George Ackerman. George's mom, Sharon, was living with Parkinson's for years before anyone ever knew. The last 4 years of her life, George was his mother's caretaker and learned more about the world of Parkinson's than he ever anticipated. Since her passing, he has has been dedicated to driving advocacy to find a cure.

    Before DBS a through psychiatric test is appropriate to rule any post implant psychosis as I witnessed ,this procedure is still symptomatic control and temporary however to hold and drink from a regular glass some water with s steady hand and have the excessive movement and subsequent muscle soreness cease for a year or more is probably worth it.

    Congratulations Carl on your innovatory discovery. It shows how much we, as a community, can achieve when working together. If we leave all the work to medics and scientists, we get Levodopa after 200 years. By the way, I am a physician based not too far away in Derby. I too have lost count of the number of times I have been advised to speak slow or not at all. Keep up the good work Jessica and Brian.

    I have extraodinary compassion for PD patient's I have seen attempts at staving off ones side effects of this disease that worked for awhile or did not work at all including DBS. However the progress in DBS has been remarkable since I witnessed the early Medtronic implant surgery on each side of a patients head spaced weeks apart. The fine tuning is so much more precise now ,My wife was treated in New York City where we had 3 hospitals with specific movement disorder centers for treatment and Many of these clinics had visiting neurologists talk about Parkinson's from all over the world to us as well as several patient and caregiver groups . My only knowledge left that is known that I trust is that this disease is so unique . The fact is still that we have no cure ,my concern is that PD is caused by brain blood barrier dysfunction which would be very interesting to have a PD Physician or DO explain here as the causitive aspect of Parkinsonism. My wife died a stoic fighter and tried every possible way to participate in research and alternative medicines ,acupunture ,theraputic fasting Rekkei ,boxing etc.tolittle avail so it became The very best movement and still is her thought "The Same (curse) Leva Dopa" She died in 2022. helpfor her physically and emotionally was "Dance for PD" whether standing or chair dancing the music watching a trained dancer and dancing (touchless) with other PD members was the most gratifying for her. Be well and keep exploring. I still after my wife passed try to help PD caregivers make a more comfortable life for their loved ones ,little tips from showering or massages and how to hold a patient to keep them and yourself from falling, all of this not from medical staff but from patients and family , be strong and look forward ,not back!

When I got on to the dopamine it seems like a lot of things went wrong I started shaking more I ended up tripping. I can't walk without a cane or a walker . I've had pneumonia twice and this is all in one year I was diagnosed at the first of January. Granted I'm not young . I'm 74 but I'm definitely going to try the patting to get to sleep the tapping to stop my trimmers hurry and get this made we all need it so bad and I can tell you really need it too.

At night when I lay down on my bed, my legs ache and there is a buzzing like electricity flowing down my legs. I focus on trying to wiggle my ears and the sensations become very muted and go away fairly quickly. Like in a way the heart beat bear we kept in the crib with both our children. Thanks for presenting this idea and podcasting it.

    Yowzer. When Carl started explaining the speech problem, struggling to say more than a syllable, I was gobsmacked. That is precisely what has happened to me over the past few months. I thought that was a psychiatric thing isolated to me, not an actual Parkinsonian symptom. French is my second language, which doesn't help matters, but...wow. Hearing another person describe an identical symptom to my own experience...it feels amazing. Validating, even. Beyond that, it does sound psychosomatic, so I absolutely respect Carl for acknowledging that it might be a placebo effect. I fervently hope not, of course. I'm 32, with severe cervical dystonia (along with other fun symptoms), so I have a lifetime of this to get through, and if this actually works, it would be incredible. I'm seeing a specialist in January who will (hopefully) finally diagnose me. After three hospital stays, MRI's, angioscanners, lumbar punctures, genetic testing and every other test that the neurologists have thrown at me, I'm very much ready to move on. My current treatment plan is just about enough, with an apomorphine pump keeping me on inbetween the times when I need to take the other stuff, but it's not the most stylish accessory. I'll be sure to mention Carl's work to the neurologist when I see her!

    I am a retired SLP whose husband has PD. I am very interested in this device and know that there are new vibration devices being used for gait freezing that are very successful. Fascinating how it not only improves fluency but also vocal intensity and articulation. You mentioned how it helped someone with autonomic tachycardia and high BP. My husband has very low BP and bradycardia (fluctuating) so it would be interesting to see if this might help even it out (in addition to the medications he already takes for his PD and low BP). I would love to see Mr Beech provide a CONTINUOUS speech sample while turning the device on and off. Thank you for the fascinating broadcast and congratulations on what appears to be a very helpful device, at least for some people!
