Anyone trying LDN or interested in it?
I have recently had an appointment with my neurologist and, as expected, he told me basically that the only way to achieve a reasonable quality of life into the future is to have DBS surgery. He spoke of the risks, that not everyone is suitable etc etc. And that was it. DBS or continue to steadily decline

It's a daily fight
Been diagnosed with PD for 5 years . Rhopinrole gave me acceptable movement. Now it is having less effect. Consultant suggests sinimet plus . Makes sense , after all I am lacking dopamine so give me dopamine . Frustrating thing is - my movement is worse . Back to consultant and the solution

Hellish Night
It is 2.40 a.m. and as yet have had no sleep. The Tamazepen tablets are finished and I have nothing to replace them with yet (seeing G.P. in the morning). I took a cocktail of stuff before I went to bed in hopes of a little sleep. 5m.g. Melatonin. 4 Nytol (the stronger sort) and Two soluble co-codomol

"Too skinny" . . Protein - Good or Bad?
I have read that PD patients should eat a low protein diet to help w/ the dopamine levels in the body. Is this the same for 'protein supplements'? How about 'Whey' protein? I'm looking to add some weight, I've lost 12 pounds of muscle.

Case study - an update. (might be of interest to "new" sufferers)
Have tried the usual Dopamine medications. ( Mirapexin, Neupro patch and Requip ) All showed varying degress of success in reducing movements during sleep but all left me feeling as tired during the day as when I was on zero medication. Consultant has now suggested we go down a different route and

Chapter 5 - Part of your brain is missing.
I left the hospital armed with a starter pack of Ropinerole and a supply of motilium to counteract the nausea that seemed to kick in from the very first dose of Ropinerole that I took and swept through me causing my head to spin and my stomach to heave. I regularly lost what I had eaten whilst waiting

If it only takes 24 - 48 hours for nicotine to leave your body, why would I want to use NRT?
When you first stop smoking, it is true that it only takes up to 48 hours for the nicotine to leave your body. So it may seem strange to start using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and put the nicotine back into your body again. Why would anybody want to do this? Without trying to make it complicated

Is a DBS operation even remotely possibly useful to treat RLS
SInce PD and RLS have some commonality in the form of Dopamine defficiency, I was wondering if a DBS sysrtem may be applicable for RLS too?
