Acupuncture?

Yes. My most recent treatment on Monday had negative effects. When
I got up from lying down in my bed, I was dizzy. A few minutes later, I
broke out in a sweat. If this happens again, I will suspend acupuncture
treatments. So far, three out of four treatments have been positive.

I had a somewhat similar experience as yours with the one acupuncture treatment. In my experience, the acupuncturist used very hot lights above the table. Heat has always made my neurological symptoms worse, so this made going back questionable to me.

I have decided to give it another try, though. When I return for another acupuncture treatment, I'm going to ask her to reduce the heat lamps and then see if that helps with the exhaustion and the neurological symptoms that I had previously.

Here is some information from the American Parkinson's Disease Association website about how people with PD have "temperature regulation" problems.

Did you also have a lot of heat lamps, @gregopp211? Does heat and hot weather tend to exacerbate your neurological symptoms?
