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.
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
Sorry ive only just seen your reply. I work away alot so have been busy. I cant remember where i heard this but im going to look into this. I know a nurse who runs her own atheistics company, i will ask her.if its something she may consider however Dad will need to pay as its private and nof on the nhs.
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
Sorry I’ve only just seen your reply and thsnk you.
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.
