Gout
Evidently any form of dopamine, including mucuna beans, causes an increase in uric acid in persons who are susceptible to gout. Has anyone experienced this problem?

restless legs
My GP says that my thyroid is normal (latest result TSH 3.99 ) He has diagnosed restless leg syndrome and prescribed pramipexole which is a dopaminergic and sometimes given to early parkinsons patients.He has not tested dopamine levels and I'm very wary about starting these drugs as I'don't have any

Neupro Rotigotine patch it is a dopamine agonist.
Did anyone use this? If so did it work. My dad is getting it for PD. The Doctor said it works miracles. I am concerned about the side effects. Thanks

If I can get well, why can't others.
After being totally disabled with fibromyalgia, I have been out of pain and off meds for 13 years. I didn't happen over night, but it did happen. I have been studying and working the past 13 years to help others in their recoveries. I want people to get well. When I regained my health, I

Beating Down Chemo's Ill Effects
Are you feeling like you don’t know what to do first … throw up, fall over from sheer exhaustion, or pinch yourself to make sure the hands and feet you can’t feel are still there? I know, not funny. Unfortunately, chemo isn’t as discriminatory as we’d like; the drugs kill the good cells but are rough

Hello again
Some time ago I wrote to ask if anyone else had had a terrible skin allergy when using the patches. You may remember I told you that the whole of my upper body including arms and top of legs were covered in sores and blisters. My doctor was quite shocked when she first saw it and said I was obviously

How to Increase Dopamine Naturally ?

Dopamine Agonists
If we accept in most cases RLS is related to the shortage of dopamine as a neurotransmitter in brain and therefore dopamine agonists are prescribed, then why they work fine in the beginning and then they worsen the symptoms of RLS in considerable number of cases ?!! :(

Response to Sue about severe headaches
I'm sorry you're struggling so much with terrible headaches. Some causes of severe headaches never show up on any tests or scans, even the newer brain perfusion MRI's. It's discouraging not to be believed or told that "everyone gets headaches" when you know yours are abnormally BAD. Was your neurologist

This was in the Daily Mail today, but no mention of RLS A drug used to treat Parkinson’s Disease could help older people make better decisions, say researchers. As you get older you begin to lose the ability to learn from experiences, meaning you are less likely to be able to predict the chance

“To puff or not to puff ?”
The fact that smoking causes lung and heart disease isn't exactly news, and only tobacco industry executives would express (feigned) shock at being told. But, excuse the pun, cigarettes can lead to a whole slew of problems involving every system of your tar-filled body, especially if your immune system

Duo Dopamine pump
I went to a Brain Fair yesterday where they had top neurologists discussing Parkinsons. They talked about a Duo Dopamine pump which pumps a continuous flow of dopamine into the small intestine. It has been used in Europe since 2004 but is expected to be approved for the US in the next 1-2 years. The

Nicotine Addiction ! Interesting article on why it is hard to stop AND why its worth it .
Nicotine tricks your brain by stimulating the reward pathways with a shot of dopamine, the hormone that tells us that things like food and sex are pleasurable. It also increases activity in the cholinergic pathways of the brain. These pathways are concentrated in the brain stem and are believed to be
