Parkinson's Patients Must Know These Problems, Otherwise The Consequences Will Be Disastrous!

Parkinson's disease should not be unfamiliar to Chinese people at all. With the acceleration of the aging speed of the national population, the number of Parkinson's patients is increasing year by year. Most patients with some expertise know that this is a common neurodegenerative disorder and older adults are more susceptible to Parkinson's disease as they age. Now the treatment of Parkinson's disease is a major challenge to the existing medical level. Neither Chinese and Western medicines can achieve a curative effect. Patients need to adhere to the treatment for a long time, and there are many precautions. Dr. Wang Shilong has sorted out some common misunderstandings about Parkinson's disease treatment, hoping to help Parkinson's friends and their families, avoid detours, and get correct, effective, and timely treatment.

Myth 1: When Parkinson's disease is not serious, it can be treated without treatment

      Some patients with Parkinson's disease believe that the current symptoms are not severe, so they can do not need treatment, and wait until the symptoms are severe. This is definitely a wrong idea. For chronic diseases like Parkinson's disease, it must be "early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment". With a reasonable and correct treatment method, most patients can be well delayed And control the development of the disease, there is no difference with normal people. Therefore, when a disease is discovered, timely and reasonable treatment must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

Myth 2: The more levodopa you take, the less effective it is to treat Parkinson's disease

       Some patients often have doubts, as to why the efficacy of levodopa will decrease after long-term use? It's not all "levodopa" fault. First, the disease progresses, resulting in decreased storage capacity for the drug and an irregular response to the drug. The fluctuation of drug concentration can be overcome by the human body at first, so the efficacy is still stable; as the disease progresses and dopamine neurons are further destroyed, the human body cannot buffer the fluctuation of drug concentration, so the efficacy is unstable.

Myth 3: It is most important for Parkinson's patients to take their medicines on time

      There are many kinds of drugs for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Some drugs need to be taken several times a day. In addition to drugs for other diseases, many Parkinson's patients need to take more than three or four kinds of drugs a day. If you forget to eat, it will definitely affect the effective control of the disease. Therefore, in order to take the medicine on time, it is strongly recommended that the patient make a medication schedule, write down the name of the medicine to be taken, write the time and dosage of each medicine according to how many times a day is taken, and then set the alarm clock so that it is not easy to make mistakes. . If there is any discomfort, you can write down what time it happened, and if you need to see a doctor in the future, take out this table, and the doctor can adjust the medication according to it.

Myth 4: Parkinson's patients have many hidden dangers of self-medication

       On the other extreme, patients are bent on being quick, taking medicines desperately, and adding medicines on their own whenever they feel that their symptoms are getting worse. Initial symptoms such as stiffness and sluggishness will improve, but soon the dyskinesia will change from immobility to hyperactivity, accompanied by side effects such as hypotension and hallucinations. continued situation.

       Therefore, the usage and dosage of Parkinson's disease drugs should be adjusted at the doctor's office. Do not increase or decrease the dose at will, and do not stop the drug suddenly, so as to avoid the occurrence of Parkinson's disease withdrawal malignant syndrome.

Myth 5: Parkinson's drugs can't be stopped at will

       First of all, just like antihypertensive drugs, if you do not take antihypertensive drugs, your blood pressure will rise even higher in a few days. Likewise, if you stop your Parkinson's medication, within a few days, your symptoms will get worse when the medication wears off. Secondly, drugs such as levodopa (including Sine and Medopa) cannot be stopped suddenly. Suddenly stopping the drug will cause serious consequences, which is called malignant withdrawal syndrome in medicine, and maybe life-threatening in severe cases. Therefore, usually pay more attention to whether the medicine is almost finished, and prepare it in advance. Physician Wang Shilong said that only the correct application of drugs can get more benefits from drug treatment.

Myth 6: Blindly believing that Parkinson's disease can be cured

      Many Parkinson's disease patients insist that there is a radical cure for Parkinson's disease, blindly believe in various online and offline bad publicity such as the Internet, advertisements, etc., go to doctors randomly, and do not accept formal treatment. There is no cure for Parkinson's disease in the world. Patients must not be misled by some small advertisements, and take remedies and health care products rashly, which not only delays the disease but also wastes money. Regular medical institutions do not have this practice, so we must pay attention to distinguish the qualifications of medical institutions.

      Taking medication is a long process, and many Parkinson's patients have concerns about drugs because they are worried about the side effects of western medicine. In fact, with the development of medical technology, western medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine have made great contributions to the treatment of Parkinson's disease. As a traditional technique of traditional Chinese medicine, after years of clinical verification by doctors of traditional Chinese medicine, Cistanche can achieve a very good inhibitory effect on the treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease! It can minimize the side effects of drug treatment for Parkinson's disease, and the drug effect is relatively more stable!

      Phenylethanoid glycoside extract in Cistanche can significantly improve the composition of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, MPTP)-induced PD model C57 mice behavioral characteristics, increase the substantia nigra tyrosine hydroxylase (tyrosine hydroxylase, TH) up to and DA content in the striatum of patients with Parkinson's disease. In addition, the cistanche phenyl ethanol glycoside extract has a good inhibitory effect on the decline of cerebellar granule cell viability in patients with Parkinson’s disease and prevents the MPP+ induced cell apoptosis of cerebellar granule neurons by inhibiting the activation of caspase-3 and caspase-8. Death, exert its anti-apoptotic effect.
