Jaw pain with PSP?
My husband was only diagnosed with PSP two weeks ago and is already on hospice care. He was in hospital and rehab and just came home yesterday. Now his jaw is hurting very badly. I thought it was a toothache, but happened to notice a passing comment about jaw pain on a PSP page. Is this common? It

Then one week after i had two hard days, like withdraw symptoms, witch i assume it was of cutting meds to fast, especially C/L. I had also a lack of balance on the first

Exercise poll
Dear Fellow PWPs, How many times per week do you exercise? What do you do, bike, walk, run, swim, weights etc? What level of intensity? My neurologist showed me an article about the theracycle and doing 60-80rpms for 45 minutes three times per week. Doctors said it had the same benefit as PD meds

Has anyone taken Vinpocetine with Rasagiline and Amantadine?
If you have taken this combination please let me know. I want to add Vinpocetine to my daily supplements but I’m concerned about any interactions with Amantadine and Rasagiline. Thank you my enlightened friends.

Life starts again
Once again my Devon hedgerows are coming to life. Swathes of snowdrops ,bright cheerful daffodils ( how do they get there ) and the first primroses , the great mass which carpet the banks yet to follow . In these difficult and dark times nature is unperturbed and carries on as though the world is just

What levodopa teaches us...
"What is science? Learn from science that you must doubt the experts ... Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts. Every generation that discovers something from its experience must pass it on, but it must do so with a delicate balance between respect and disrespect..." Richard Feynman,

In Defense of Medication
I know we are all different, I am VERY afraid of
dyskinesia
, and I have no expectation that this will last forever, BUT I want "newbies" to know that at least for me, Sinemet has been a Godsend. I am 58 years old.

Levodopa vs. Mucuna Pruriens, How Similar Are They And Which One Is More Effective?
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28642128/ This more recent study (2017) suggests that MP also produces less
dyskinesia
than L-Dopa/Benserazide.

Immediate-Release Versus Controlled-Released Carbidopa-Levodopa
The question of immediate release versus controlled-release carbidopa levodopa is a frequent topic here, so it is high time to have a post specifically addressing this issue. Chart source: https://www.ingentaconnect.com/contentone/ben/ccp/2007/00000002/00000003/art00006?crawler=true With reference

Avoid levodopa phobia
- Earlier use of levodopa does NOT mean earlier
dyskinesia
and wearing off. - Some of the risk depends on how long you have had PD, NOT how long you have taken levodopa. (his emphases). - Taking levodopa may slow down disease progression.

ANXIETY TREMOR DYSKINESIA
If you have anxiety and tremor as part of your symptoms, with occasional
dyskinesia
, would you say you tremor more, or your
dyskinesia
increases with anxiety? Like when you are on the queue at a post office, or supermarket. Have you experienced all symptoms together?

Does Sinemet Have Residual Benefits?
I remain fearful about
dyskinesia
, but very satisfied for now. Is there some residual benefit to Sinemet after a few months or am I just feeling "placebo effect?"

Niacin and Butyrate: Nutraceuticals Targeting Dysbiosis and Intestinal Permeability in Parkinson’s Disease
Niacin PD patients are found to have significantly decreased niacin levels compared to age-matched healthy controls [52]. This has been attributed to both the disease itself and the medication used to attenuate motor symptoms [58]. Sinemet, the most commonly used PD medication, includes carbidopa, which

When is it supposes medication have an effect?
By middle of November 2020 I was diagnosed with a “clinical picture suggestive of PSP”, being freezing of gait (FoG) my claim. This is the end of a long road of claims (inbalance, neck pain, radiculopathies, a.s.o.) after being submitted in November 2015 to a ACDF surgery to decompress my spinal cord
