Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
My husband is having work done to save the anchor tooth for his appliance (that's a long story) and his tremors have become worse. He is having a lot of pain so I'm wondering if this is causing the tremors.
tremors are caused by involuntary muscle spasms. I can stop my tremor by purposely exercising that muscle group and purposely over riding the involuntary signals from your brain. Just tell him to flex that muscle a couple of times.
I have Parkinson's, i do not feel pain, i do not feel temperature, i do not know i am getting hot in the summer, i do not feel cold in the winter. I am an electrical engineer. I have to be very careful about touching wires. I could be touching a live wire and getting electrocuted and not feel it. The only way i know something is wrong is my ears start ringing. My advice to you is to get the fecal metal test. look for mercury and other heavy metal in you poop. it is a non-invasive test, they don't enter your body.
Get the dentist and the neurologist on the same page. If they both agree, proceed. Other than anticipating the procedure (fear factor), after the deadening shots, he might feel better. Just got done with nine shots yesterday to the roof of my mouth to remove crowns and a bridge, and my sinus cavity opened up. Yes, today my gums are sore, but I'll take two ibuprofen to cut the inflammation.
I have suggested coconut oil for Alzheimers, but it seems that it is supposed to work on Parkinsons too. 3 tablespoons daily mixed in yogurt or pudding. I've heard from one friend that it works wonders on her mother.
My dog was hurt in a freak accident earlier this evening and now Al is shaking really bad. The dog has stopped trembling, but I don't know how to calm Al down. I guess stress is a very bad thing for PD patients.
Root canals do not involve mercury. I'm a dental hygienist so I wanted to correct that statement. Mercury is found in a small amount in the alloy of metals used in amalgam (metal) fillings. If mercury caused Parkinson's there would be scads more people with it..
Perhaps the most famous case of severe complications from dental surgery is the one on actor Peter Falk (of the "Colombo" detective series). He went from an intellectually sharp man, to a man with severe Alzheimer's within weeks of the surgery. Root canals involve mercury. Mercury poisoning is known to damage the nervous system.
It seems logical to me. It's possible that there's not a scientific explanation, but this procedure is a trauma for your husband (and you, I might add). Trauma of any kind can kick in latent symptoms or make symptoms worse. You may want to talk with his neurologist and see if there's anything to make this easier. Take care, Carol
I do know that anesthesia or injuries cause permanent decline in my husband with Lewy Body Dementia..Lewy Body is somehow linked to parkinsons, I believe
