Lately I've been feeling better (diagnosed with REMSBD, not PD) and with my kitchen sink attitude towards supplements it can be hard to tell why.
One of my "way out on a limb" protocols is taking 100 mg of selenium with 750 mg of Myo-Inositol every day. I take these together because I saw a study on Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (which I have) which took about 80 people with sub-clinical HT and gave them 75 mg of selenium and I think 600 mg of Myo-Inositol and within a few months they were all euthyroid (no HT). Now I am not sub-clinical but I figured moving the needle towards euthyroid would mean less inflammation and maybe a good thing for me.
Here is the interesting part: I Googled myo-inositol and Parkinson's and found this:

Elevated myo-inositol was associated with more tapping hits and lower MDS-UPDRS3 scores.
BTW: That stuff I mentioned about selenium and myo-inositol above? Just taking the selenium does nothing to make a person euthyroid.
