Why Do I Get Hot Flashes When I Am Diagnosed With Parkinson's Disease?
Question: why do i get hot flashes with my parkinsons.
I have parkinsons. I have started to get hot flashes just like when i went thru menopause. However i have been thru menopause for years now. My neurologist says if you got them with menopause you can get them the rest of your life. But then why did they stop and then start again. Could it also have anything to do with anxities? I am under a lot of stress right now.Sometimes it gets difficult to get my breath.
Why does it take so long to answer a question after youve been paid to answer it.
