Constipation - Parkinsons, Sinemet or both ? Natural ways of treating constipation?
Mom has a G tube so it limits sometimes what we can give her in terms of fibre , even though she is getting completely organic food with no preservatives etc . All clean ingredients. I might start massaging her tummy with some essential oils , dont want to give her too many laxatives. Any suggestions

Magnesium chloride - dosing
I started using magnesium chloride gel two weeks ago, every night, along with my meds; it works great and sleep has improved to 5-6 hours. But I need up to 8 hours. How soon can you reapply the gel? Is it risky to “overdose on magnesium”?

Explain festination please
Can someone explain festination? Last winter I would walk on a hilly half-mile track while wearing a backpack with a 30# weight. On snowy inclines I'd get an urge to turn around or at least walk backwards. At a Zoom examination I explained this sign and the doc responded that it's festination.

My experience with DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) Surgery
First, a little about me. I am 47 years old and was diagnosed early onset PD at 35 or so. I grew up on a farm in a small town in central FL. I played sports my whole life. Baseball, Wrestling, Softball, and even a little football. I married my high school sweetheart, have a great job, and two sons

Is anyone taking Apokyn for Off episodes that occur with Parkinson's disease?
Would like to know if anyone in this forum is taking Apokyn . Apokyn is used to help prevent Parkinson's symptoms during Off periods when the Sinemet has worn off. p

''ON PERIOD"' OF SINEMET KEEP DECREASING LEADING TO FREQUENT OFF PERIODS.PLEASE HELP.
Hi Friends, Please help with your experience in spacing sinemet doses closer due to sinemet on period now decreasing,pending when I switch to Rytary as per my MDS.My previous schedule was 2 tab 25/100mg, at 8:00am,12;noon,4:00pm, and 8;00pm and one at bed time to sleep as approved by MDS. This has worked

Foot Dystonia stiffness
I have a Parkinson disease a number of years. In the the beginning of my journey Sinemet helped with my leg dystonia. My entire leg is stiff and stiffness started in my right arm. I was going to buy magnesium spray on Amazon, but I do not know what the best kind to get. Does MM help? Thank you! Thank

How often is pain associated with PD?
An article published in December 2018 starts with: "Pain is experienced by the vast majority of patients living with Parkinson's disease. It is most often of nociceptive origin, but may also be ascribed to neuropathic..." I was researching edema in a neurology text and came across this article. Further

Mucuna dosage
I just bought some mucuna from Bulk Supplements, the seed extract in powder. I would like to replace one dose of C/L 125/100. How much MP powder will equal one Sinemet?

Does Sinemet cause swelling of the feet?
I've been on Sinemet a few weeks. My shoes seem tight enough I need to loosen the laces. But then there's not enough available to tie them.

Orthostatic hypotension
I am trying to deal with being dizzy and sometimes fainting. I am transitioning from Sinemet to mucuna . My dosage was 7 1/2 pills a day. 1 extended at night and 1 amantadine in the morning and 1 at night I have increased my water intake and taking essential oils to increase my blood pressure. My neurologist

So I finished the book...
I didn't know what to expect, maybe a primer on running and PD. Lots of aphorisms similar to Just Do It and Git 'er Done. Learned that standing is more difficult than running because it uses more dopamine. And Steve Evans was the first marathon finisher to have had DBS treatment. He finished

Sleep or exercise?
I am fairly regularly getting 6+ hours sleep thanks to Magnesium gel. But when I wake at 5am, the RLS makes sleep impossible until well after my 6am Sinemet, and I am really sleep-deprived. Do you prefer to try to go back to sleep (often unsuccessful) for immediate relief or get up and exercise for long-term
