In this episode of When Life Gives You Parkinson’s I talk with three friends about Deep Brain Stimulation. Becca Miller is contemplating it, David Sangster just had it and Jim Smerdon had it five years ago. “You hear everything,” said Jim Smerdon of Vancouver, B.C. when I asked what he heard when doctors drilled a hole through his skull and into his brain. “It was the clearest memory I’ve ever had of anything of my life.” Jim was awake for the first five hours of Deep Brain Stimulation to treat his Parkinson’s disease. My neurologist told my wife and I that if my motor symptoms and dyskinesia from carbidopa-levodopa do not level off in six months, we will add my name to the DBS evaluation list. The wait time for evaluation in British Columbia is three years and currently there is just one doctor who performs surgery here. “Deep Brain Stimulation is considered the most commonly performed surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease,” said Jamie Hamilton, senior associate director of research programs for the Michael J Fox Foundation. Hamilton explains that DBS is an invasive procedure which implants electrodes deep in the brain. The electrodes are controlled by a neurostimulator which is surgically implanted into his chest and sends electric impulses to specific targets in the brain. Becca is a single mom of a 7-year old. She is scared to have DBS while her daughter is so young. But, she understands the benefits, “…that sounds just amazing. It feels like in some ways, you know, in some ways it's like a last resort and in other ways it feels like a reset. And a gift of time.”   For David, it has been life changing. He’s back to playing with his kids, being an equal partner to his wife and playing piano. “It’s amazing,” says David. “I can be there when my kids need me - every time. (I can) take them to school, drive the car, and make them cereal. It’s also being there for my wife and being more of a person than I used to be.” Jim was able to completely come off the carbidopa-levodopa for a year. But, his wife Deana Grinnell says he’s back up to 8 or 9 pills per day. That’s fewer than the 20 or so he was on prior to surgery by the dyskinesia is back. “His disease is progressing,” Deana said. “It’s effecting his balance. His speech is getting softer. It’s just marching on.” Thank you for listening.

When Joy was 16-years old, she fell in love with Leslie. Back then, he smelled good. “He had a wonderful male musk smell,” she says. Dr. and Mrs. Leslie and Joy Milne were later married. Les became a consultant anesthetist and she was a nurse practitioner. Sixteen years later, his body odor changed – for the worse. He smelled off, overly musky and unpleasant. Joy even nudged him to wash more. Twelve years after that, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. At their first support group meeting, Joy realized the other people with PD smelled just like Les. Bravely, Joy asked researcher Tilo Kunath why no one had researched the smell of Parkinson’s. Tilo was shocked. He had never heard anyone talk about an odor of the disease. Neither had anyone else. Six months after that encounter, a colleague told Tilo that many cancers have smells, which made him think Joy maybe on to something. Tilo teamed up with Perdita Barran, a professor of mass spectrometry at the University of Manchester, and started to test Joy’s super smeller. They discovered she was smelling sebum, an oily secretion on everyone’s skin that is over-produced in people with Parkinson’s disease. Next, they focused on the molecules within the sebum. “We found, if we compared the samples from people with Parkinson’s with the people without, there were significant differences.” Barren says they found 17 compounds that were different, “Of those, four were significantly different and they always varied in the same way.” Barren and Kunath used that information to create a model which allows them to test anyone’s sebum at any time and predict, with 90% accuracy, if that person has Parkinson’s. The novelty of “The woman who smells Parkinson’s” initially brought ridicule and doubt from others in the scientific community, but as more and more research is being conducted, supporters are coming out of the closet. Joy feels some vindication, but knows there’s more work to be done on convincing the medical community that diseases have distinct odors. “How do elephants in a tribe know an elephant is ill and they protect it? How does a wolf know who is in the pack and is ill? Animals smell when they are ill. Sharks do as well. They have a super sense of smell. We are sentient beings. So why are we not accepting of it?” There currently are no biological tests or measurable indicators for Parkinson’s disease. Diagnosis of PD is a subjective call by a neurologist based on medical history, symptoms, a physical examination and neurological tests. It is imperfect at best. The research around the smell of Parkinson’s is an exciting and promising approach to finding that elusive biomarker. Additionally, testing sebum levels is quick, easy, cheap and painless making it a great option for monitoring disease progression and medication effectiveness, especially for people in rural areas who rarely see their neurologist.

Guest writer Rebecca Gifford, the wife of Larry Gifford In this episode of When Life Gives You Parkinson’s, Larry and I explore how we keep the magic alive in the bedroom and beyond when there is always an elephant (a.k.a Parkinson’s disease) in there with us eating peanuts and taking up a lot of space. Your bed. It’s your private space. It’s restful, probably even peaceful sometimes, and hopefully happy. It can be a safe place to feel and even grieve. If you’re fortunate enough to have someone to share it with, it’s a place for communication, intimacy and excitement. Larry and I have our most important conversations in bed. Since he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s these conversations happen regularly. We talk, share triumphs of the day — sometimes big successes and sometimes simply a hilarious moment with our son. We complain, cry, say things we probably shouldn’t, unconsciously avoid saying some things we probably should. Sometimes we have sex (but we’ll talk about that a lot more in this week’s podcast). And we sleep. All the things that happen in our bed are the most important things for our relationship, and for our well-being. It makes sense to pay attention to it. That’s why Larry and I sought advice from nurse and sex health educator, Maureen McGrath. “This is new for you, Parkinson’s disease, and it is different for every patient,” she said. McGrath told us 70% to 80% of the couples she counsels are also dealing with medical conditions that impact intimacy in their relationship. We had a lot of questions. Do we have a bedroom that is conducive to sleep and wellness? “Sleep is critical.” McGrath said, “Make sure you don’t have a television in your room, or an iPad or bring a phone to bed. Dedicate your room to sleeping and/or sex.” Have we created a space that is as safe and nurturing as it was before Parkinsons entered our life? McGrath suggested, “Make your room an oasis.” We made plans to use our aromatherapy diffuser more frequently and make sure our bed is plush and comfortable for us both. Be sure to listen to snippets from our bed shopping excursion. Are we still affectionate with each other, even though nothing is as effortless as it used to be? “You have a need to be close, you have sexual desire, but you may have a little bit of fear around it,” she said. McGrath recommended not overthinking it, returning to what you know and making it a priority appointment in our life. By acknowledging Parkinson’s has changed how we sleep, connect, and show affection for each other, we are learning to look the PD elephant in the eye, smile at it and thrive on all levels. Including in bed. Thank you for listening.

This is a special bonus episode of When Life Gives You Parkinson’s which we are calling “Extra Dosage.” Full episodes of Season 2 of the podcast will be released every other Wednesday beginning in September 2019.   If you were to imagine Michael J. Fox in your mind right now. You probably are picturing the guy from Back to the Future or The Good Wife. Think about when you’ve seen him interviewed on TVnews programs or when he testified before congress. Those uncontrolled, involuntary movements Michael J. Fox is known for are not symptoms of Parkinson’s. It’s called dyskinesia. It’s a reaction to long-term levodopa use. Yes, the gold standard drug treatment for Parkinson’s, when taken over a long period of time, will effectively treat some of your PD symptoms like tremor, slowness and stiffness, but cause you to move uncontrollably. The Michael J. Fox Foundation describes it as fidgeting, writhing, wriggling, head bobbing or body swaying. It is important to note that not everyone with Parkinson’s will develop this complication. It is more common with people who are diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease (YOPD) or under the age of 50. There was no guarantee I would experience dyskinesia. I didn’t particularly want it. And in the end, I didn’t really have a vote.    After my family returned from World Parkinson Congress in Japan in mid-June, I was jet lagged and my med times and dosages were a bit out of whack. That’s when dyskinesia took hold. It had only ever really happened once before. About six months ago. I do sometimes sway and jerk a bit here and there, but I am a relative stranger to experiencing a full-on, dyskinesia episode.    It was Saturday night, my family was at the dinner table and I started to sway and rock. Slowly at first and then gradually faster and more erratic. My head started to go to the right, my shoulder popped to the left, my neck jerked back and forth. And it repeated over and over again.   About 5 minutes into the dyskinesia, I asked my wife Rebecca to record a video. The dyskinesia lasted 45 minutes. I posted the video on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts. For friends and family who’ve not witnessed many physical symptoms of my Parkinson’s, this came as a shock. For people familiar with PD, my episode was rather mild. Two days later, I was at a manager’s off-site meeting with 18 of my colleagues and dyskinesia set in again. It lasted an hour. And then it happened a day later during my exercise class. I was doing a bear crawl and it was as if the bear was drunk. I couldn’t tell my feel what to do anymore. It lasted 30 minutes.       In this Extra Dosage episode, I turn to friends and fellow people with Parkinson’s who’ve been dealing with dyskinesia longer than I have. Becca Miller, 45, is a psychologist at a community mental health center in New Haven, Connecticut. She was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease six years ago. She began to have dyskinesia two years ago.  Jim Smerdon, 45, has been living in Vancouver, B.C., with Parkinson’s since 2007. His dyskinesia was so severe he opted for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery in 2014 in search of relief. I wanted to get them to answer some questions I had about dyskinesia and some that my friends and family posed to me after watching the video. Also in this Extra Dosage episode, the Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) has announced a series of free, daylong, live events called “Parkinson’s IQ + You.” MJFF Deputy CEO Sohini Chowdhury joined the podcast to chat about it, “the goal is to create a forum where we can share information with Parkinson’s patients, family members, friends, all with the goal of empowering people with Parkinson’s and care  partners so they can optimally manage their disease and learn more about participating in research.” The “Parkinson’s IQ + You” series exciting for a number of reasons, but most relevant to me is that I have been asked to travel with the Michael J. Fox Foundation and be the host and moderator of these events across America. You can get more information at www.michaeljfox.org/PDIQ. There are other events I will be attending in the coming months that were mentioned in this episode.
