How to stop seeing my naturopath without being rude?
Hiya people, brief update: went to see a naturopath, she correctly diagnoeed me with adrenal fatigue and candida and gave me HCL, enzymes, probiotics and a food plan involving lots of protein (she thought lack of protein might be raising my cortisol). She also prescribed MSM. She doesn't think it is

Appointment fail
I went to a neurologist at St Mary's Hospital, London, on Wednesday. She confessed her ignorance of rls, and stated my wife – who came with me for support – and I were the experts, then blocked everything we said, allowing no time for thought, demonstrating no capacity to listen. We were diplomatic as

URIDINE: Why LD/CD Users Should Consider It
*ATTENTION should be paid to Carbidopa/Benserazide and their irreversible, potentially lethal bond with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.

It is what happens to your body after drinking a can of coca- cola.
Let's begin with the ingredients of cola. One can of cola has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30-55 milligrams of caffeine and is loaded with harmful artificial flavors and coloring. The major culprit in the cola ingredient list, however, is high-fructose corn syrup, and we'll tell you why

Tramadol aka ralivia
Having augmented on virtually all dopamine agonists and reading about the effectiveness of Tramadol on this website, I am making the switch. I have reduced mirapex by half and will continue to wean myself off with the help of Tramadol. After getting an average of 3 - 4 hours of sleep for a very long

Dopamine med or something else?
I've read that professionals are leaning more and more away from dopamine agonists because of augmentation and other side effects and swaying towards other medications as a first line treatment. I've seen that low doses of opiods are frequently used but isn't there risk of addiction and extreme withdrawals

Have you considered DBS? It is recommended for people with midstage PD who for whom meds are no longer working well!
Don't wait too long to get DBS--' if you're Parkinson's gets too severe it won't work as well . Also you might not get accepted into a program - if Sinemet stops working entirely you won't be able to find a program that will take you! There are surgeons around that can do DBS on you when you are asleep

Codeine
I experience REALLY bad nights about once or twice a week when I take 2 co-codamol 30/500 which work brilliantly. In between I wearily soldier on because I fear I could become addicted if I take them more than this amount. If I felt confident that addiction was unlikely by taking them say every other

Relapse
Hi there. I relapsed a days ago. I blew a 2 mth quit through too much alcohol. However, after smoking a couple of roll ups when sober I realised just how evil these things taste. I also did not feel well after the dopamine injection that cigs give you, rather I felt on edge, and anxious. After 25 years

wellbutrin (bupropion) potential problems
I got interested in Wellbutrin because it increases dopamine and norepinephrine. It's used a fair amount in PD for psychiatric problems (depression, panic attack obsessiveness, and lack of desire), but there are an uncomfortable number reports of it causing parkinson's symptoms. I think this is likely
