Cello playing
It was a passing interest. I learned the Bach prelude. I'm retired, 65. I've had this pd for years I think. I can't attack properly. It gives me a sick feeling across my chest when I try to bow convincingly. diagnosed in June because of my posture. it's frightening me. I don't think Ropinarol 8mg does

Mucuna
I am new here. I am trying to keep informed. I just tried Mucuna pills for the last month from Switzerland (2 a day) plus 3 levodopa 100mg but have not found an improvement, on the contrary. I will switch over to the Mucuna powder form I just ordered from India. Has anybody any experience with Mucuna

Greetings
We are pretty sure my mom has PD. She has many of the symptoms other than the tremors the neurologist started her on levodopa three times a day. Her Neurolog I st said if her symptoms get better then it would tell us that she does have PD. My mom doesn't like taking the pill because she says that

What to expect from levodopa
I started showing symptoms of pd from early 2015 and was diagnosed June 2016. My main symptom is little left arm swing and the stiffness that causes it and loss of dexterity in left hand. It has felt uncomfortable this past week - seems worse. I am on light dose of Madopar 50/12.5 x 3 a day for past

Turns out I do have peripheral neuropathy, no doubt as a result of my long-term use of carbidopa/ levodopa
I mentioned in an earlier post that I suspected peripheral neuropathy might be contributing to my problems with gait and balance. My neurologist confirmed that tests showed I have PN and, as is often the case, a vitamin B-12 deficiency. For full report see http://parkinsonsand5htp.blogspot.com/2016/

Xadago Video shows how it works in detail
Watch this video and see all of the amazing benefits of this drug for PD. It works by three different mechanism's and is by far the most advanced drug out there for PD. It works in combination with L-Dopa therapy. https://vimeo.com/116166647 One thing I like about it is that it suppresses glutamate

I also have a prescription for
CARBIDOPA

LEVODOPA
25-100. I got this because I've read you need to take this with Mucuna to cross into the brain. I don't know which one or how much to take or if I need the CARBDOPA-.EVOQOPA. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Take nothing for granted. Try anything that that will not harm you and keep a diary.
At that time i was taking
carbidopa
levodopa
, azilect and Requip. To my surprise all the night time problems went away. I handle stress as good as i ever did and I am like i was 10 years ago.

Lets talk about levadopa. While it is reputed to be the most valuable medication in PD it can cause dyskinesia which alarms me.
I am glad to know that C/L exists as a treatment for PD but does not slow progression. It is routinely cited that dyskinesia can occur in up to 80% of PD patients after 5–10 years of L-DOPA treatment. A neuroprotective medication for PD is desperately needed and there are clinical trials under way

European Parkinsons Therapy Centre ,Boario Terme Italy
Have just finished a weeks 'boot camp' and although tired from all the physical therapy,have pushed myself to limits I never thought would be possible again. Being on max dose of Mirapexin and Azelect the Nurologist recommended I start Sinemet. Thanks to my wife's research we found the centre and decided

What medications or natural alternatives
I was diagnosed a year ago and have left side tremors and stiffness but now fatigue is killing my life. I have tried acupuncture and glutathione IV's but no better. Finally tried Mirapex for 2 days but couldn't function. Do side effects go away or better to try l dopa. I was trying to go natural. Any

Adding meds
I've had nothing but
Carbidopa
/
Levodopa
25/100,starting low with 1 1/2 tabs 3 times /daily. Now, 9 years later, I'm taking 2 tabs 5 times/daily. This doesn't cover me through the night, so, my doc ordered C/P 6 times/daily. He also ordered Comtan (entacapone) 1 tab 6 times/daily with the C/P.
