A-Z Parkinson's: N

Neurology-Neuralgia-Nordic Walking Poles-Nightmares

• Neurology

A specialist who treats diseases of the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles.

Or a person with whom obtaining an appointment is similar to the Buddhist state of Nirvana…elusive and over several lifetimes.

• Neuralgia

A stabbing, burning, and often severe pain due to an irritated or damaged nerve.

OW. (rinse & repeat)

• Nordic Walking Poles

Nordic walking is a style of walking where you use a specially designed walking pole to help you move forwards. Frequently used in the treatment of Parkinson’s movement issues.

Apparently, Not. Effective. For. Everyone.

• Nightmares

A common malady in PD.

Clearly, not satisfied with all the other joyful things a lack of dopamine presents, we are inflicted with the worst an unfiltered brain can deliver.
