I diagnosed myself with Parkinson's. I had constipation and went to a GI, he told me to take fiber.. It didn't help much, so I told my OMD I thought I had Parkinson's.Went to a neurologist and he confirmed it, Gave me NuPro and I have no motor symptoms. I think I had it at least 2 years before and now I have had it forn2 more years. The people here don't know I have Parkinson's until I tell them. .The foundation said I would probably die of something else before I got to the last stages. Raisins !/2 cup in hot water, soak 15 minutes eat as often as you need and drink plenty of fluid.

@maggienice Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds like you are taking a drug called NuPro and you have no symptoms at present. Did I get that right? If so, that's wonderful news, along with having a good Parkinson's prognosis
I'm wondering if you are aware that Mayo Clinic Connect has a Parkinson's group that I have linked below.

You mentioned eating, "raisins !/2 cup in hot water, soak 15 minutes eat as often as you need and drink plenty of fluid." May I ask if this is specific treatment for Benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS) that is common?
