CiteEffects of Helicobacter pylori on Levodopa Pharmacokinetics
The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in Parkinson’s disease patients is reported to be about 1.6-fold higher than in a control population in some studies. Helicobacter has therefore been assumed to be linked to Parkinson’s disease, but the mechanism is unclear. As regards symptoms and treatment, patients

If people knew... what Parkinson's is.
If people knew how hard, how very hard Parkinson's can be, it would help us spread this information. Okay, not all of it, but not even vitamin B9 to control the neurotoxic homocysteine, just the right amount of vitamin B6 in 10-25 mg per day as indicated in the levodopa prospectus, or vitamin D to prevent

Nasal or intramuscular delivery
Hello all! Curious if anyone in the group has ever dealt with being resistant to LD out there? I’m curious BC I have gut issues and I think I may be resistant to l-dopa. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Update on Sinemet Nausea and Fatigue
I originally posted on this topic about 2 weeks ago (post copied below). I finally got in touch with my MDS at Northwestern in Chicago regarding this issue. His solution was to add an additional 25 mg carbidopa (take one with each CL 25/100). It took a while for the pharmacy to fill the Rx, so I just

Quick Question : How does Exercise or increase in activities affect your response to Levodopa?
I can never tell the difference between tremors and dyskynesia and I end up in pretty bad spots because the medication goes out of whack. I find that increase in activities results in tremoring furiously and most importantly without warning. I can't put my finger to it. I have to calm down with a Klonopin

What levodopa teaches us...
"What is science? Learn from science that you must doubt the experts ... Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts. Every generation that discovers something from its experience must pass it on, but it must do so with a delicate balance between respect and disrespect..." Richard Feynman,
