Rated 2 out of 5 by Pattygirl from Dissappointed in Fitbit Flex band I got my Fitbit Flex as a Christmas gift. It was difficult for me to snap together because of arthritis. Finally it loosened up some. I wore it every day. My complaint is the band would catch on things and pop open. Happened twice. The first time o found in the floorboard of my car. The second time I was loading hanging baskets into my car. When I got home, I noticed my Fitbit was missing. I went back to the store to see if anyone had turned it in. No luck there. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem or if you can get a band that fastens like a watch band so it would be more secure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PT12 from Love it! I've been using a Fit-bit since February. I'm 72 and was not exercising at all. This is such a motivator. My first was the Wristband, however snapping it on was very difficult. It came off in Mexico, never to be seen again. Fit-bit is a great company and they gave me a new one. This time I went for the One model; I just clip it to my bras or waist band, and it does not come off until you remove it. However, it is small and can be lost easily. I've been without mine for a few days, and will not exercise without it. It is the very best motivator. My daughter also has one, and we compete; she always wins!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lady_jade from Love it! I put chased min in October. I don't have to take this off for anything except charging. I wear it in the shower, bathtub, swimming, Zumba....I feel naked without it. I never was a watch person but got used to it quickly.

Rated 4 out of 5 by tennispls from Meh I just got the flex two days ago, and its generally ok. I used to own a nike+ fuelband, and imo I think that the fuelband is a better choice. Although the flex is pretty great at tracking information, the display of information on the flex isn't very good. The fuelband actually displays the exact data that has been stored, instead of rough percentages like the flex does.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Honeybear1 from Great motivator I have had mine since Christmas 2015, love it. I am not good with technology and this is so easy to use. I have lost it and got it back, wish it stayed on more securely. I have accidently worn it into the shower. I love being able to keep track of my sleep and steps!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ReviewNickName from Love it! Great product! It should come with a guide though :( The taps are tricky to learn. Other than that, mine has a super battery life and is a great product. Also, the app is really easy to use. Wish it had more features for SELF challenge rather than "challenge a friend" but oh well. Just keep my goals to myself and challenge myself each day :)

Rated 2 out of 5 by rojo from Great Features, poor reliability Love the utility and especially like the fact that I can compete with friends and family around the planet. Big problem: I'm about to return my second one in 3 months. I'm quite tech savvy and have not abused this product what-so-ever. But here I am, trying to get in touch with fitbit again to send me a new one.

Rated 2 out of 5 by ddoriej from Won't Sync I bought the Flex on Feb. 13 and it worked fine for just over 2 weeks. I haven't been able to get it to sync for over a week now because it indicates a low battery, which is fully charged. It's going back to the store today. Not sure yet if I will exchange it for another one, try something else, or just give up.

Secondary parkinsonism refers to a group of disorders that have features similar to those of Parkinson disease but have a different etiology. Atypical parkinsonism refers to a group of neurodegenerative disorders other than Parkinson disease that have some features of Parkinson disease but have some different clinical features and a different pathology. Diagnosis is by clinical evaluation and response to levodopa. Treatment is directed at the cause when possible.
Parkinsonism results from drugs, disorders other than Parkinson disease, or exogenous toxins.
In secondary parkinsonism, the mechanism is blockade of or interference with dopamine's action in the basal ganglia. The most common cause of secondary parkinsonism is
These drugs include antipsychotics (eg, phenothiazine, thioxanthene, butyrophenone), antiemetics (eg, metoclopramide, prochlorperazine), and drugs that deplete dopamine (eg, tetrabenazine, reserpine).
Atypical parkinsonism encompasses neurodegenerative disorders such as progressive supranuclear palsy, diffuse Lewy body dementia, corticobasal degeneration, and multiple system atrophy.
Some Causes of Secondary and Atypical Parkinsonism
Symptoms and Signs
Parkinsonism causes the same symptoms as Parkinson disease (eg, resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, postural instability).
To differentiate Parkinson disease from secondary or atypical parkinsonism, clinicians note whether levodopa results in dramatic improvement, suggesting Parkinson disease.
Causes of parkinsonism can be identified by the following:
Deficits that suggest neurodegenerative disorders other than Parkinson disease include gaze palsies, signs of corticospinal tract dysfunction (eg, hyperreflexia), myoclonus, autonomic dysfunction (if early or severe), cerebellar ataxia, prominent dystonia, ideomotor apraxia (inability to mimic hand motions), early dementia, early falls, and confinement to a wheelchair.
The cause of secondary parkinsonism is corrected or treated if possible, sometimes resulting in clinical improvement or disappearance of symptoms.
Drugs used to treat Parkinson disease are often ineffective or have only transient benefit. But amantadine or an anticholinergic drug (eg, benztropine) may ameliorate parkinsonism secondary to use of antipsychotic drugs.
Physical measures to maintain mobility and independence are useful (as for Parkinson disease). They include physical and occupational therapy, exercise, and use of adaptive devices. Good nutrition is essential.
Key Points
Parkinsonism can be caused by drugs, toxins, neurodegenerative disorders, and other disorders that affect the brain (eg, stroke, tumor, infection, trauma, hypoparathyroidism).
Suspect parkinsonism based on the clinical evaluation and differentiate it from Parkinson disease based on lack of response to levodopa; neuroimaging may be needed.
Check for deficits that suggest a neurodegenerative disorder other than Parkinson disease.
Correct or treat the cause if possible, and recommend physical measures to maintain mobility.
