Dyskinesia or Tremor??? I nod my head like saying “Yes” and side to side like saying “No”..............

If I’m in front of people, the nodding starts slow but then increase speed until I can no longer control it, then when I’m by myself it stops. At first I thought it was because of the c/l since I take 4 tablets day, tried lowering doses, but even then I still have the nodding (but I don’t know if I gaveIf I’m in front of people, the nodding starts slow but then increase speed until I can no longer control it, then when I’m by myself it stops.

Can C/L and venlaxafine ( effexor/ SSNRI) possibly be the reason I experience some symptoms ?,?

I really need some advice. I think perhaps some of my symptoms may be caused by one or more of my medications. I received a DAT SCAN (showed loss of dopamine in the right and left side of my brain) in 2015 confirming that I have Parkinson's but because my progression seems to be faster than most ,I really need some advice.

Cause of dyskinesia? Parkinsons or carbilev? Advice about amantadine?

I am on half 100/25 c/l more or less every 6 hours. I am fine during the day but I have to get up and move during the night or I end up jerking hopelessly for hours.

Something interesting

Today I had a colonoscopy. Friday I stopped all the PD medication including the vitamins and I ate a little and after that nothing for a day and I cleansed my digestive system. Guess what: all my symptoms almost gone, just a little tremor left on my RH. The tremor intensified just before the procedureToday I had a colonoscopy.

Any one had colonoscopy?

I would like to know if anyone had a colonoscopy and if there were any issues. Was the medication interrupted a day prior the test? I'm taking 2x100 amantadine and 3x100/2/5 c/l and 2g B1 HCl and 2000 UI D3 per day. I'll have mine next Monday in the morning at 8.45 am.

I can't get rid of my right hand tremor

I was diagnosed two years ago and I did not take any medication except HDT which helped a lot except the tremor. Four month ago I started C/L 3x100/25 per day to help the tremor but without luck. In March I saw my neuro who gave me amantadine 3x100 and doubled the C/L.

Trouble with pain while walking

I was diagnosed in 2010. I’m 66. The past few months I’ve developed significant pain in the form of muscle spasms in my low back, hips, and legs, which are mostly on my left side (side of most of my tremor in hand/arm), but which switch sides. I find myself walking stooped over and walking more slowlyI was diagnosed in 2010. I’m 66.
