That's really good news. How much madopar are you taking?

[shasha in reply to camper]

i am taking about 2 per every time i have neck pain - which is twice a day maybe 3 times if i get it again

[shasha in reply to camper]

in france it is MODOPAR AND NOT MADOPAR - STRANGE EH ?

[tlongmire]

That's wonderful Sha. :-). What area of the neck hurts? Mine just kills me in the back at the base.

I'm so happy to hear positive news on your walking. How is Fred coming along?

Hugs and love, Terri

[shasha in reply to tlongmire]

hi terri - yes it sounds the same for me too - the neck i mean - pain at the back and down low -

fred is doing very well thank you though he still has pain and stiffness from time to time

i am sorry to say the walking is stillnot good but i feel it is a little better

love to you and tommy xxxx

Ya just got to laugh Shasha. That is why they call medicine a practice. Glad you are walking better.

[fishinggirl]

Nice to hear good news!

[janab]

do they have this medication in the states ?I also have a stiff neck? what is it called?

[shasha in reply to janab]

hello i take modopar or madopar - but dont kniow if it is available in the states

[Pete-1 in reply to shasha]

Madopar contains Levodopa and Benserazide.

Benserazide is not (last time I heard) licensed for use n the US.

This chemical does the same job as Carbidopa in Sinemet so functionally Madopar and Sinemet are the same thing

thanks pete - i had forgotten all about this comment .....
