L Tyrosine may be helpful
My next attempt at relief is to try L Tyrosine is a non essential amino acid that is the precursor of the neurotransmitter, dopamine. Tyrosine is converted into Levodihydrophenylalanine (L-Dopa) and L-Dopa is subsequently and avidly converted into dopamine. More on the subject here:https://clinicaltrials.gov

PD subgroups and subtypes : Early Weight Loss
In PwP, weight loss, weight gain, and no significant change in weight represent a subgrouping. For a year or so before my dx as having PD (late 2011), I was losing weight, despite eating well. I lost 40% of my weight. Occasionally, an acquaintance would ask if I was OK, did I have cancer? (

Neupro patches
My husband was recently diagnosed so am fairly new to the medication side of things. He is on neupro 4mg patches, which I believe are dopamine agonists. His tremor\shakes have improved but he still shuffles when he walks. Someone has suggested he needs to take dopamine as well. We have a gp appt in a

Why exercising on a treadmill can be unhealthy
“Dirty electricity” is a term recognized in scientific literature, and what the research is showing is that it’s all around us and impacting our health significantly. This article raises more questions then gives answers but it is good to be aware of this issue. For full text here is the link and then

PD subgroups and subtypes : preliminary comments, initial bibliography
The discussion of subgroups is important. "Subtypes" seems an equivalent word (1). Much subgroup research is occurring. FFindings in cite 8 surprised me. Several subtype cites have already been posted. The HU pd list will remain fragmented on this topic if and as individuals keep

RLS and Lactose?
Hello Everyone, It's been so good to discover this forum and read about everyone's struggle with RLS. I've had RLS since childhood (my parents remember me having to stand up in the car, or pulling over to let me walk around). But until now, it has been manageable to just get up and watch the movie standing

Compulsive spending
Hi guys Can I ask if anyone who treats their rls with dopamine agonists notices an increase in their shopping habits ie overspending for items not needed, I have noticed this for myself but when my family started to notice I realised there was a problem.

Insomnia and Relaxis pad questions?
My sleep problem for the last ten years has been that I can't go to sleep. I can be very tired or sleepy but just can't drop off. Have been treated for restless leg with dopamine agonists with some success. I am now on Horizant (I do suffer neuropathy in left foot) and hydrocodone 2.5 to 5 mg at night

The locus coeruleus story in PD: norepinephrinergic system, Zarow, hypertension, hypotension
This post is prompted by parkie13's description of blood pressure extremes. Is it possible that the BP extremes Mary described are being induced by PD pathology and not by more common causes? Damage to the locus coeruleus (aka ceruleus) often precedes and may exceed damage to the substantia nigra

Two tips to better walking
MUSIC One aspect of Parkinson's is the body's desire to be still, seen in bradykinesia, rigidity and freezing. Music can by pass the pre frontal cortex where the brain is saying 'don't move' and it can get us to move instinctively, passively which stimulates dopamine production from where our body can

The best RLS solution used for the last 300 years
If you search in the NIH or Johns Hopkins Hospital web sites, you can see information about RLS. Below is one thing I found after realizing that the codeine cough syrup I had been prescribed was 100% effective in eliminating RLS overnight. Instead of getting up twice/night I sleep 8 hours without interruption

A Procedure for RLS
Some time ago there was a suggestion that a flow chart of what to do if you think you have RLS was proposed........I felt that this would be a mammoth effort to write initially and then to maintain. However I thought some more and I offer a starting point which is just a simple list of actions in

Positive Preliminary Trial Results: NAC resulted in significantly more dopamine neuron survival. published online 2016 Jun 16
The results of this small, preliminary study demonstrate for the first time a potential direct effect of NAC, N-Acetyl Cysteine, on the dopamine system in PD patients, and this observation may be associated with positive clinical effects (about 12%). Here are a few details published from this earlier

RLS ? Magnesium
Jafta Hi I am new to this forum. Just reading through your posts and i feel sympathy for all you. I suffered from RLS since the age of 25 ( Am now 53). I saw a neuro doc about 16 years ago, who had me on Dopamine / levodopa. After reading about the side effects of the drugs, I stopped using them and
