My dad had Parko's, and its a terrible disease, but clearly medication isnt the answer for everyone .....

A French appeals court has upheld a ruling ordering British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline to pay $245,000 (197,000 euros) to a man who claimed that its drug to treat Parkinson's turned him into a gay sex and gambling addict.

 

The court in the northern city of Rennes said father-of-two Didier Jambart had suffered side effects after being administered the drug Requip in 2003 for the illness, which causes tremors, slows movement and disrupts speech.

 

A court in the western city of Nantes had previously ordered the British drug company to pay $145,000 in compensation in March. Jambart, who was accompanied by his wife, burst into tears after the ruling.

 

"It's a great day," he said. "It's been a seven-year battle with our limited means for recognition of the fact that GSK lied to us and shattered our lives." Jambart, 52, said the drug made him addicted to Internet gambling and caused him to lose the family's savings and steal to feed the habit that cost him 82,000 euros.

 

He said he attempted suicide eight times and became a compulsive gay sex addict, exposing himself on the Internet and cross-dressing. His risky sexual encounters led to him being raped.

All that stopped when he ceased taking Requip in 2005.

 

Requip has been known for years to have undesired side effects but a warning only appeared on its package insert in 2006, his lawyers said.

Silver water *** may *** work but not sure as I have never heard it being used to treat Parkinson's.

 

There are sooooo many alternatives out there but who has the time to test them all?

 

My borther-in-law's sister's husband had Parkinson's. This guy was a brillant scientist and so sad to

see him reduced to nearly nothing.

 

I give hundreds of liters away, free to people that want to give it a try. If it can help someone, why not!

Silver water be damned - Parko's is hereditary, and the day I cant control a part of my body is the day I take out the package containing the helium canister/bottle of Mekong/plastic bag. I guess the upside is that I will still have enough of my faculties to make a conscious decision to end it, tremors notwithstanding. Dementia wouldnt be so 'kind'.

I had a girlfriend who's Aunt had very bad dementia and was in a nursing home, however she thought she was on a continual world cruise, welcoming family as thinking they are at the current port of call.

 

She was very lucky, most times it's just a dreadful fearsome confusing state to be in.
