Auditory hallucinations
Hello, My mum was diagnosed in Feb 21 with Parkinson’s. She has recently been experiencing distressing crashing sounds (usually when she wakes, but not always). I appreciate this is probably Parkinson’s related, and would like to hear from anyone else suffering a similar experience. She has been on

Neurologist recommendation
Hello My husband has recently been diagnosed and has started on Sinemet but it is not helping his terrible leg spasms. I am looking for a recommendation for a neurologist at one of the London hospitals if anyone can help as I know that he will have to wait months to see a neurologist in Surrey where

madopar vs sinemet
hi everyone! I’m planning to switch from sinemet 125 mg (levodopa carbidopa combination) immediate release to madopar Controlled release 125 mg (levodopa benserazide). Based on your experience, do you think it’s safe n is a good idea?

"Off periods"
My only symptom was lack of convergence. That means my eyes can't focus on one thing. The eyes send two images to the brain. It may have been my earliest symptom. Late in races I'd begin to see the trail in front of me and also bushes or weeds to the left of the trail. When it was bothersome

Does anyone know what the HIGH DOSE in high dose thiamine means?
I have been following the medications course, not the vitamin/naturaremedy one for five years Suddenly, for no real reason I wondered if HDT might do even better than Sinemet for my slightly-worsening forward/backward balance problems. I have been on two and a half 25/100 three times a day for 3-

Sinemet not working.
I was diagnosed in 2021 and have been taking this and doing well. I'm up to 1 1/2 tabs(25-100) 5 x a day. In the last few weeks, I get b anxious, lightheaded and weak about 15 minutes after taking my meds. It completely shuts me down . I'm waiting on my neurologist for directions. One was to switch

Just diagnosed
Hello My husband has just been diagnosed with Parkinsons after lots of other ongoing health problems. He is 74 and his health has been deteriorating for the last 7 years. I did suspect Parkinsons in the beginning but he has had so many other issues that it has been difficult to diagnose and got lost

Grief or PD?
I was diagnosed with PD in 2018 at the age of 49. My neurologist prescribed Sinemet (2 pills 3x a day). My symptoms were well-managed and most people wouldn't have a clue that I have PD. The dexterity in my right hand and slow movement were my symptoms. Fast forward to May 2021. My wife was diagnosed

vascular Parkinsonism
I just learned of this condition which is similar but apparently district from PD. This condition apparently evolves more from small strokes and primarily impacts balance and gait and a weakling of the lower body. It also does not react to normal PD medication (ie. Sinemet,etc). Anyone familiar

Sigh... 😔🥱😒 Hallucinations side effects from meds on top of neck & back pain affecting sleep schedule
This is very frustrating. Before starting any Parkinson meds this year, back pain (spinal stenosis but don't need surgery "do PT", insomnia and frequent urination (was told BPH) were my dad's only health issues. Healthy in every other aspect. Now, 2 months in, he has hallucinations as a side effect

Wondering if dad has RLS instead of PD (or both?). Any RLS indicators here?
Hi new to learning about RLS. My heart goes out to everyone dealing with this.
I'm reading a lot of comments about experiencing Augmentation from Mirapex/Dopamine Agonists or that if dopamine therapy doesn't work on you, you may not have PD. I've been wondering if my dad has RLS or something else

Sinemet vs. Rytary
Does anyone have experience with these? How does Sinemet perform vs. Rotary. Which do you prefer and why. My neurologist recommended the latter, but I'm not so sure that's the best choice. Would love your opinions.

What's in ER C/L vs. IR C/L?
We have tried using 25/100 ER in combo with 25/100 IR in an effort to increase time between doses and it consistently leads to negative symptoms that don't occur when I'm just taking the IR. Symtoms are mild headache, mild nausea, fatigue, my brain feels swollen and anxiety. It reminds me when I was

Looking for guidance on RLS and Parkinson's Management
Good Morning, Read this forum regularly... thank you for sharing ... Looking to learn more about RLS and Parkinson's, especially from persons with these two conditions particularly their medication management. My husband has both conditions, RLS since mid 2000s, Parkinson's since 2018. And we are

B1 Therapy question
Six months ago, my neurologist diagnosed me with early stage PD. My prominent symptoms included hand tremors and stiffness. I am on a low dosage of sinemet and it has helped to regulate but not eliminate those symptoms.. I was very intrigued by the testimonials in the book, Parkinson's and the B1

Long Covid
I have had RLS for decades and have had more help on this site from wonderful people than from any medical person. Currently I take Methadone 15 mg daily which gives me about 5 hours of broken sleep per night. I can live with it as its the best I have had for decades. I wonder if some Marijuana would

Sinemet and nausea.
I am forced to break my Sinemet 100+25 pill into two parts and to space out the intake for a few hours because a whole one causes me severe nausea. Does anyone out there have the same problem? And how did you solve it?
