Some of you know that i have been greatly challanged by dizziness.
Nobody seem to know what the problem was.
I saw a new neurologist a few weeks ago. After spending one hour with me testing and talking, he said: You don't look nor act like someone with PD. Hesaid he would not say I do not have it.But he said, let's do this. Cut back on one does of carbidopa/levadopa. I was taking 4 doses of it 10/100.
The first day I cut out the first dose, the dizziness was gone and has stayed gone!! Hallelujah!!
Howeveer, my feet are not working well, until i take my first dose of carb/lev.
I would rather have a clear head and work on my walking.
My mood is great! I feel well.
Shakes have never been a problem.
What am i to think?
Peace, Eva G :

Think you have PD. That is if you have the classic symptoms.
Just a thought, Eva. But had you taken your meds when you saw him? My point being, that I don't feel or act like someone with PD when I've taken my ropinirole - but the other day, I forgot and by the middle of the day I did feel like someone with PD. I guess with meds there's always a trade off and it's our choice which trade we make. I, too, value a clear head above all things.
You know i have a different opinion and i dont believe that diseases or conditions are all in the mind. I know that gives you hope so hold on to it but for me it leads to self blame when i dont improve. I thank the Lord for medicine to keep me functioning.
My mom has been struggling with dizziness and other issues for years. Her Neuro had her chg her dosage of sinemet alot. She was taking 6 25/100 Sinemet a day at last count. She has not been functional for months. What was always peculiar to me was that mom only scores a 7 on the Parkinsons scale. We were getting no help from her Neurologist so we went to a new one a week ago. He doesn't think she has Parkinsons. He weaned her off to see how she is off the meds. She is doing so much better off of that poison. Unbelievable!
We just simply need to take the matter into our own hands, and seek help where we feel we may get some honest answers!!So glad your mother is doing better!!
Did the neuro suggest what to take instead of Sinemet???
He put her on the neupro patch but she felt even worse so she stopped it this weekend. She has not taken anything for three days and all of her symptoms are gone except the dizziness. She feels almost normal again.
