What other meds are you on Roy?

in reply to Hikoi

I am thinking positive. Needs more time. My good condition may be due to slow progression. No negatives. The positives: no button difficulties, brush my teeth now w/o needing elect brush, more strength, no increase in tremor.

Slow progression: 5th year and have not fallen to the surprise of my neuro, was seeing neuro every 6th month, last month he set app one year. He said if needed we could do some changes earlier. He said my condition can change in as little time as one week.

1 x day 1250mg Magnesium Malate

2 x day 250mg Mega Benfotiamine

2 x day 50mg Allithiamine

3 x day C/L ER 50-200mg (but I choose to take 1 in a.m. and 2 in p.m.)

1 x day 1200mg calcium plus 1000iu Vit D3

1 x day High Potency B Complex w/ 500mg vit C

2 x day 99mg x 4 Potassium Gluconate

1 x day Renew Life Ultimate Flora Adult 50+ Probiotic 30 Billion Supplement

Glad you are feeling well and positive Roy. Excellent.

I recently changed meds and am currently on C/L 200/50 ER x3day plus 3 other meds. In my 10th year and when my meds kick in you wouldnt know I have pd so i too am feeling benefits.

in reply to Hikoi

I have no in or out symptom relief attributed to C/L. All these years, taking or not taking, no change. I only take C/L as a preventative and as taking it is preferable to not taking according to my reading.

So that's interesting as I am still playing around with C/L and dosages but can't tell if I have a positive reaction to it, assume I don't so figured why take it. But you think it's better just to continue as we all need dopamine?

Yes, I know only too well what you mean. That’s why I have very few button up shirts etc. I’m glad you have some relief. I got some, too. It was really bad for a while. I couldn’t even work with screwdrivers and fix things, the tremor had gotten so bad. Both hands.
