What a relief - half a tablet has made such an incredible difference...my latest blog and a positive one for those following my journey with PD. I pray it is not too short-lived but it is a massive relief and great for now and I wanted to express it whilst it is real. Thanks for all those who dedicate themselves to the fight! - fightingparkinsonss.com/202...

Yep. The right dose of levodopa can make all the difference.

Those that are successful in treating Parkinson's will tell you that the right dose and the right type of medicine is the critical element of success. there are a multitude of drugs available and the aim is to be in the Effective Treatment Zone while avoiding the Over-medicated Zone and the Under-medicated Zone. It is a simple rule but it is very difficult to achieve given the number of factors associated with each medication and each people's individual physiology. Exercise, nutrition, stress reduction are also important attenuating factors.
