New to forum-Need help with B1 Dosing

[NikkiBro]

Hi! So glad to find this resource! I am a 50 yr. old female who started having very slight tremors and twitching in one hand and reduced arm swing. I have some non-motor symptoms I chalked up to aging but now realize are symptoms of Parkinson's. Neuro did not make a definitive diagnosis but said to come back in 3 months. I am desperate to keep my symptoms from progressing and want to try HDT. I am not on any medication, am 5'4" tall and 115 lbs. I was thinking about starting at 250mgs. and working upward. Is this too low? Any insight would be appreciated.

People have reported benefit at 200 mg per day and I think one forum member reported as low as 100 mg/day! On a related note, here is a link to answer almost all questions you may have about HDT and much much more! Most of the answers are directly from Dr. Costantini :

Above all else regularly engage in intensive aerobic and resistance exercise, including fast walking and rowing.

No need to feel desperate. Drugs treat the symptoms of PD but do not slow the progression of PD. Is your neurologist a movement disorder specialist? Your symptoms do not necessarily indicate PD as there are other conditions that may mimic PD. Did your neurologist explain why to come back in 3 mo?
