People here with parkinsons

I have Parkinson's and I'm sure the meds block me up, and possibly just having Parkinson's does it too. What are you folks thoughts on enemas. I take them now because I have to, where as before it was as a sexual stimulant. I half overheard a comment last week about someone with Parkinson's and they had a care person and was getting enemas twice a week. What are your thoughts ?

Constipation is a side-effect of lots of medication. I expect if you check the patient info leaflet with your meds this may enlighten you.

@JustWilliam Wishing you the best. Keep tinkering with those tractors!!!

With reference to andy c s comment , im already on the maximum of one anti constipation pill, if i take things orally, i find the result somewhat unreliable, so i cant go out, unless im diapered i guess

@JustWilliam Wishing you the best. Keep tinkering with those tractors!!!

I'll second that wish!

My paternal Grandfather had that!

What the do to horses is more humane!!

Just realized I erroneously referenced @Justwilliam (who doesn't exist). My apologies, and I do wish you the best @sirwilliam55

@gwhap, caz decided i ought to go back to my original name..

Awhile back I started a thread about Essential Tremor https://en.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;msg=1024811

Difficult to distinguish from Parkinson's and I have symptoms of both, like balance, but difficult to tell if simply old age.

I’m a retired US physician but not IM or Neurology. Can you try Miralax along with your current constipation med(s)? This is one that despite some doctors’ reaction to enemas in general, it would be very reasonable for you to ask your internist or neurologist about. After discussing enemas in general, ask them if any specific solutions you want to use would cause any problems (Saline, baking soda, soap, etc.). On the face of it, I see no reason why a water or saline enema would cause problems. I’m very curious to know myself, so post back here if you discuss it with your docs.

All the best,

Miralax works very well. You can also add fiber in the evening. It will help for sure, although you may still have issues.
