Botox for PD

Hello

Its just been brought to my attendance that botox can help PD significantly if injected into the arms and legs. Ive never heard this before. Its something im goimg to look into.

I appreciate its not carried out onnthe nhs but it should be.

Any thoughts regarding the botox for PD anyone?

Hello
I’m v recently diagnosed and v early but I would be keen to know anything about anything that might help! Where did you see this? I’m going to a group PD boxing thing on weds so I will ask around. Thanks for sharing, yvette

My husband has sought botox to help with muscle atrophy, but finding a nhs facility that will administer it has been impossible, including in the London area. Good luck

Hi Donne, I’ve had dystonia in left hand for about 3 years and I started Botox injections about 18 months ago. The injections are very 3 months and have limited success but are definitely onto nhs and administered by my Parkinson’s nurse

I will conyact Dads PN in the hope she will know of someone. I did ask my nurse friend who does botox and fillers but she wouldnt know how to treat PD which i understand.
