Has anyone had problems with weight loss i want to put it on and back to normal
I am sorry to see no one has responded to you. My husband has just been diagnosed with PD and has lost a significant amount of weight too. I’m desperate to get him back to a better weight - anyone help???

Hello Caz & Liblady.
Sorry to hear you are both concerned about weight loss. It seems to be quite a common occurrence in PD. Our PD nurse says she rarely sees overweight patients.
My husband has PD & type 1 diabetes so constantly balancing carb and calorie intake with timing of insulin & Parkinsons meds.
The Diet section on the site should help, also a call to your PD nurse.
In the meantime can I recommend full fat milk wherever possible. Peanut butter on buttered toast is nicely high in calories.
