Before you begin reading, grab a glass of water, A FULL GLASS OF WATER.. and start drinking. Recently, I have observed that individuals with Parkinson’s disease are often not adequately hydrated, which can lead to serious health risks. Parkinson’s medications and the condition itself may reduce the sensation of thirst, so it is recommended to consume 70–80 ounces of water daily. I am sharing these podcasts again due to their importance for your health. Please take a moment to watch the brief videos and remember to drink a glass of water. A helpful tip is to set out the recommended number of glasses each morning and ensure they are all finished by the end of the day. Dehydration - 1 Dehydration - 2 Freezing Not everyone living with Parkinson’s will experience freezing - when your brain says “move,” but your body won’t, and you can’t budge until you come out of the freezing episode. Some folks don’t know from one day to the next if they will have a day of repeated freezing episodes. This can result in one reticent about going places for fear of freezing and then feeling embarrassed. Please don’t stop going to Parkinson’s offerings such as Rock Steady Boxing. When you walk in the door, no matter how long it may take, you are with your people, other folks living with Parkinson’s who “get it,” and there are your coaches who love you and will support you and provide options so you can feel successful and HAPPY!!! Please don’t stop going to your classes.
