Using Prednisone to treat Parkinson's

by Yuyak, Aug 20, 2009 12:30PM
I am interested in Parkinson's research on the use of Prednisone to treat symptoms. My husband has had Parkinson's for about 10 years and recently took 5 days of 20mg. Prednisone tables twice a day for a pinched nerve.  It completely removed his symptoms; he was tremor ... [More] free, clear thinking, strong voice, no walking problems, no slowness - NOTHING!  It was like a miracle.  He is now done with the Prednisone, and is back to where he was before.  There must be something we can do with this information to help people with their symptoms. I stumbled on your site and see someone else has experienced a similar situation with Prednisone.  Is anyone studying this? It seems a shame that Prednisone can remove all symptoms, yet it's not prescribed for PD

I wish some one would tell me one way or the other...I've been taking medication for neuropthy..It helps the pain in my feet, but my hands are really bad at times.
I have a friend who saw an article about a pacemaker type thing that is inserted under the skin, like the heart pace maker, and does something to the nerves...Have you heard anything about this?
Thanks Trudylou
