2. Non-Parkinsonian lifestyle (lower risk of developing the disease).
And the question immediately arose as to what effect several of these habits or substances together would have on delaying the manifestation of the disease or on the possibility of starting
levodopa
treatment later.

Can we prevent, slow or halt, improve symptoms and reduce the severity of Parkinson's?
On the sides of the main path of Neurology today (replenishing the missing dopamine with
levodopa
) there are important studies that offer us hope, another way of looking at the disease, in addition to the use of
levodopa
with inhibitors, dopamine agonists and the various surgeries and other therapies

Chapter 17. I dream of the revolution that must come... 1/2
This is chapter 17 of a book I published in 2015, "A Different Way of Looking at Parkinson's. Almost 20 years of experience with my father's disease (1994-2012)" (only in Spanish). Although we have learned a lot more since that year, I think it can still be useful to most sufferers and family members

Doing better without Carbidopa/Levodopa...??
My husbands Sinemet was slowly increased to 1200 mg per day since his Dx 3 yrs. ago. He was a mess with this high dose. He was falling asleep mid sentence. He had no motivation to do anything. . It did not improve his main symptoms (balance issues, low voice, stiffness, shuffling and feeling “stuck”

Is Parkinson's disease a lifestyle disease? 1. Parkinsonian lifestyle (higher risk).
Since all the patients were taking
levodopa
and were regular red meat eaters, it is possible that much of the improvement in mobility was due to the fact that the meat removed from the diet no longer hindered the drug from reaching the brain.

The more homocysteine, the worse the Parkinson's?
Parkinson's patients have high homocysteine and those taking
levodopa
even higher (Mattson 2003, Obeid 2007). Some authors claim that a high level is largely responsible for the current progression of the disease (Yasui 2000, Muller 2001).

Avoid levodopa phobia
- Earlier use of
levodopa
does NOT mean earlier dyskinesia and wearing off. - Some of the risk depends on how long you have had PD, NOT how long you have taken
levodopa
. (his emphases). - Taking
levodopa
may slow down disease progression.

Nasal or intramuscular delivery
Hello all! Curious if anyone in the group has ever dealt with being resistant to LD out there? I’m curious BC I have gut issues and I think I may be resistant to l-dopa. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Reclass injection
Presently, I am taking Carbidopa/
Levodopa
- one tablet three times a day. I have been diagnosed with low bone density. My doctor recommended a once a year injection of Reclass to improve my low bone density. Has anyone one with Parkinson taken Reclass? If yes, were there any side effects?

Update on Sinemet Nausea and Fatigue
I originally posted on this topic about 2 weeks ago (post copied below). I finally got in touch with my MDS at Northwestern in Chicago regarding this issue. His solution was to add an additional 25 mg carbidopa (take one with each CL 25/100). It took a while for the pharmacy to fill the Rx, so I just
