I know pd can change is face very often , but I'm tryng to be objective.

Side to side tapping speed (Left hand - Right hand ( terapy undergoing ) ) :

August 2018 : 29-33 ( 1 mg rasagiline )

October 2018 : 35-40 ( Pramipexole 1 mg and 1 mg rasagiline )

Stopped Pramipexole

March 2019 : 33-42 ( 1 mg rasagiline )

Started Normast and doxiciclina low dose

June 2019 : 36-45 ( 1 mg rasagiline )

So something between Normast and doxiciclina is effecting me. Of course i'm still on B1.

Just to share.

Have a nice evening from Italy.

You can run the side to side tap test on your lap-top:

parkinsonsmeasurement.org/t...

Some things to note:

- training improves your score - so do the test 10 times for practice before using the results for real;

- scores vary a lot during the day as your meds wear in and then wear off - so be consistent with the time of day that you run the test.

- the test is good for measuring bradykinesia, but has little to say about other symptoms such as constipation.

Hi Lucal, what is the maschiatura speed from side to side? I also started Normast from a month and I'm watching myself with my fingers crossed.
