I agree; the heat is definitely detrimental to PD patients. I love to walk outside, but never do it when the heat and humidity are high. I've found YouTube exercise videos to use when the weather doesn't permit outside exercise. During inclement weather, I will often use grocery store delivery services. There is a fee, but it is worth it.

It is a difficult road to walk, but adjustments can make a world of difference. I'd love to hear how others are adjusting to the changes in temperature.

@hopeful33250 Hola atodos. Realmente esta calor (41º C) es bastante molesta, No sé cuanto afecta a los enfermos de Parkinson. Lo cierto es que este verano ha sido horrible (al menos para mi). Cuándo pensaba que los síntomas se alejaban, han vuelto con más fuerza. Canviar la dosificación del Sinemet ha ayudado. Pero no veré a mi neurógo hasta diciembre. He encontrado ayuda en mi doctora de cabecera que, aunque no es especialista en neurología, me escucha cuando le explico mis síntomas y me conaprende. No sé si a todos os pasará igual, pero yo encuentro mucha ayuda en alguien que comprenda la enfermedad.

@hopeful33250 I have a treadmill in front of the TV in my husbands study and try to get me walking in that way when the temperature and humidity are up. I also have a home exercise program designed for me by PT/OT geared towards PD patients which helps me stay active.
