Side effects:: Muscle strain, Soreness, Fatigue

Date: Sep 01, 2010
Advice & Tips: As of Sept 1, 2010, I am lumping walking together with the other aerobic exercise I do - running, exercise bike, elliptical.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Date: Oct 17, 2009
Advice & Tips: Walking can be either standard walking or racewalking. The latter is more strenuous than jogging at the same speed, but without the pounding of running or jogging. Once you're in good shape, it's a nice change to try racewalking for a few hundred yards in the middle of a walking workout. It also helps your speed, which is probably something all of us Parkinson's patients could use.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Date: Aug 23, 2009
Advice & Tips: Treatments and drugs can interact with each other. In my case, there was a positive interaction with walking, Mirapex, and Azilect. See "About Me" in my profile. In late 2008, when I walked fast for several minutes (during exercise) I often tended to freeze, and would have to stop walking. A few months later, when I started to freeze I would be able to continue walking, just slower for a few minutes, and then resume. By Oct of 2009 even if I started to freeze while running fast, I would be able to slow down (still running) and keep from freezing. I believe that pushing yourself - hard - on a regular basis (once a week or so) can help alleviate your symptoms and improve you functioning.

**Purposes:** General health, MS (Multiple Sclerosis), and Stiffness/Spasticity *(Started Jul 01, 1993)*
Date	Dosage	General health Perceived effectiveness	MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Perceived effectiveness	Stiffness/Spasticity Perceived effectiveness	Side Effects	Adherence	Burden
Jul 24, 2010	Daily

Date: Jul 24, 2010
Advice & Tips: There are days when getting out of bed is an issue, then there are days where I can walk several hundred yards. I always try to do all I can without putting myself into a "fatigued" state. Most days a turtle will pass me up but at least I'm out there putting in the effort. I should have bought stock in the maker of soles for tennis shoes, between foot drop and foot drag shoes don't last very long.
