Any tips on managing this. It affects her quality of life.
- Thanks for reaching out here. I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties your sister is having. Hemiparkinsonism is a condition we, unfortunately, don't have information on. However, temperature regulation can be an issue people with Parkinson's experience. Has your sister been in touch with her neurologist/doctor about this? - Chris, ParkinsonsDisease.net Team Hi Chris
I am a cardiologist. I was searching the medical literature on this subject and could not find a satisfactory answer. Use of evening primrose oil oral capsules, acupuncture and behavioural therapy to name a few. My sister describes it as “burning in hell”.The helplessness of caregiver can not be expressed in words.
