I take Carbidopa/Levodopa 25-250mgs, two three times a day, and, Carbidopa/Levodopa50-250mgsTER, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and two in the evening. I also have stable Cirhosis of the liver, herniated discs in my cervical spine (neck) in at least two levels. I do physical work as much as possible, try to follow a good diet, and walk a lot as well as other activities. I try to keep a positive attitude. Still suffer a lot of pain and tremors, on and off times with the meds., all in all, it is, what, it is. I deal with it head on and fight the good fight. Whether I win the war is yet to be seen, but I still over come these little and big bouts, now and then. Hang in there good people, keep the faith and think positive. You are not alone. The cure may be closer than we think, after all this is the year, 2017. I will reach the age of 60 in Septmber of this year. My how time passes so quickly.

I gave up walking and any movement that may strain my lower back and bring back the screaming excruciating pain. I am pain free now due to epidural injection.

I will turn 60 in August. Diagnosed 14 years ago the end of this month. Constantly looking for a cure. Ups & downs drive you crazy, but we just have to keep on fighting until we do find it! Hang in there!

Your last sentence sums it up perfectly! Exercise and taking pills.
