Do dopamine agonists really rarely have side effects?
/0 comments/in Guides, Therapies/from JürgenDo dopamine agonists really have such rare serious side effects as is often rumored? Is it "only" impulse control disorders such as strong addictions to sex, gambling and shopping?
Or do we ourselves and those close to us have to pay very close attention to what changes in our behavior in the months and years after taking it, because behavioral changes happen gradually, go unnoticed for a long time - and can still have a major impact on life?

There was a discussion here recently in a Facebook group. "Well I've been on rasagiline for 2 weeks
and it didn't help, so I left it out again." "It was the same for me."
"I had the following side effects on it:" etc.
All of this didn't convince me. Because I've been taking rasagiline since the beginning and I definitely will

Back pain in everyday life: topic job
/0 comments/in Exercise, Non-drug therapy, self-help, Symptoms, Therapies/from JürgenWhat we know about pain
Pain is multidimensional. This means that different factors play a role in the development of pain.
Why are we in pain?
They are a warning signal from our body. Or much more an action signal from our body. He tells us that our threat level has been exceeded and asks us to change something.
This can be a change of position, for example, if we have stayed in one position for a long time. This can be pulling your hand away from a hot object.
This is because the individual threat level has been exceeded. When the brain receives too much threatening information, it triggers a pain response. For this purpose, information from different areas is evaluated, from our environment, from inside the body, from our body parts and is connected with our experiences, adventures, emotions, fears and expectations. The brain interprets all this data individually and decides whether there is a threat or not. It is only when this happens that a pain response is sent from the brain.
The rewiring of the brain
/0 comments/in Exercise, Non-drug therapy, Therapies/from Jürgen“I think of my Parkinson's disease as a kind of brain injury – specifically to small parts of the midbrain. I imagine the total volume of the damaged area is about the size of a golf ball. That means I can use the rest of my brain to come up with workarounds.
