Yesterday my husband had his appointment with Dr Costantini. We decided to hire a driver from our hotel in Rome. My husband was not keen on taking the train and we figured it was money well spent. Dr Costantini is very passionate about treating Parkinsons and also confident about the success of treating with B1. First there was a questionnaire but to be honest I think the Dr summed up exactly how badly my husband was affected within seconds of walking through the door. After Dr did some physical tests as explained in other posts, he injected him in his rump with a viale of B1. Almost immediately my husband face expression changed within half an hour he could stand up from his chair without support which he did several times while we were waiting to go back into the consultation room. We left there with enough injections to last for our stay ( 2 per week) in Italy and the website address to order more. Dr is sure that in one month hubby will be remarkably improved. I am cautiously trying not to get too excited but I feel euphoric at the same time. My husband is not showing his cards but that is what he is like...he is possibly a bit nervous about me learning to use a needle in his derriere..😉
It was an enlightening experience. Dr Costantini was so lovely in his manner to my husband, very kind and encouraging. His assistant and interpreter is also very engaged and positive and kind. I will follow up again soon...
