Anyone here diagnosed with PD and fatigue getting worse? On CREXONT.
On Crexont for about 6 mos. At first it helped more with my devastating at times fatigue. Now with the days getting shorter, I could literally sleep all day. Neuro says exercise is so important but unable to walk much since I had foot surgery in May and still hurts when I walk. Getting custom orthotics and larger sneakers very soon. Then I will begin walking most days at least for 15 mins.

I tries Crexont for two months, and after that, I was a mess. I think that drug supercharged my anxiety and gave me muscle spasms. I went back to Sinemet.

1 ReactionSister has Parkinsons. Keep moving and exercising. Muscles deterioate pretty quickly if you don't use them with Parkinsons. Once you lose the ability to stand and walk, it changes your whole life and outlook on the disease. Keep exercising!

1 ReactionMy husband has been in the crexont for several months now. He takes the 70& 87.5 one each together three times a day and this does seem to help with his tremors. Now ever since he had the bone marrow transplant he seems to sleep a lot so I can’t say it’s from his medicine. He exercises almost every day. But doesn’t do much of anything else. He also just had surgery last week for a tumor in his kidney and thank God it was benign. But this surg has taken a toll on him getting back to exercising. The anesthesia really messed with his cognition as well. So now he is just eating and sleeping. Oh and of course some football. But literally nothing else. He will get back to exercise I know just slowly. Exercise is very important for his Parkinson’s.

When you have other health issues on top of pd, it can be had keeping up with exercise. I had toe surgery back in May and still have pain when I walk. So my exercise is mainly stretching until I return to PD PT.
