This video is for healthcare professionals to use as a reference when diagnosing PSP, CBD and MSA. It shows what to look for in a patient when making a correct diagnosis.
My mom in law has just been diagnosed with CBD. THANKS for your video it generates awareness in me. Please make some videos on how to make QOL better for CBD patients.
Thanks for the feedback, Amrita, we are sorry about your mom-in-law. We will try to make some videos about techniques for CBD patients to improve quality of life.
My sister has CBD. Within a year she was in a wheel chair unable to move her legs, had lost the ability to speak but still could write messages on her phone with one of her hands. Now her arms don't work either and she needs a eye tracking computer to talk for her. We all believe huge amounts of stress brought the illness on.
excellent resource.remarkable clinical diversity. i have identified numerous patients with mild/early symptomology in osteopathic practice overlooked by experienced neurologists and GP.
I know there might not be a classic progression in these diseases. Knowing that my mother only presents lack of strength in the lower and upper limbs, which leads to difficulty walking, she has had multiple tendinitis in both extremities, multiple surgeries to her feet (Morton's neuroma, hallux valgus), could these explain her difficulties? Or could it be MSA, as diagnosed by a doctor?
There seems to be some overlap with PSP, Corticobasilar degeneration, and Parkinsons disease -Would recommend some general measures, including healthy diet: Increase Omega3 Fatty acid consumption/supplement, containing good amount of DHA and EPA. Studies suggest that omega-3 fats may help reduce nerve inflammation, improve neurotransmission, and slow neurodegeneration. Eat healthy foods containing Anti-oxidants and Probiotics, Fresh fruits and vegetables -due to relation of gut-brain axis. Avoid fast food, refined processed foods. Also for PSP patients with Parkinsons type symptoms, a trial of carbidopa-levodopa is worth a try, under the guidance of a neurologist. Fava beans have natural levodopa, so if your father is not allergic to Fava beans and does not have G6PD deficiency (in which case you would want to avoid Fava beans), this food may help. Supplement with vitamins -containing vitamin C, D, iron, zinc. Please keep us posted. Take care.
