Azilect and aches and pains
One of the continual frustrations with PD is not knowing what causes what. I started taking a very low dose of azilect, .5 milligram, in addition to the Sinemet, three times a day 25/100, and after a few days I had pain in my back where I get dystonia and in my arms and general discomfort. Apparently

The weather
If you live in an area of changeable weather, does it effect how you feel or how the symptoms of PD increase or decrease, if on Sinemet do you feel cold even when the weather is not, when coming up for another dose? If effected how do you deal with what is happening?

Ingesting potentially toxic non-foods as a toddler a pre- cursor for developing Juvenile On-set Parkinson's
As a toddler I used to get up to all sorts of mischief apparently and was forever putting strange things in my mouth and then proceeding to ingest them. The list includes eating soil and sand ,drinking some brake fluid I found , licking a paint brush clean of emulsion paint and sucking the pink phosphorus

Rotigotine ( Neupro ) ?
My Dad is 80yrs old. Has Parkinson's and was on Sinemet & other Meds. Became poorly with heart rate of 40 (!) & slight pneumonia. Admitted to Hosp & advised needed Pacemaker. He had "seizure" and they would not do Pacemaker. Very ill, Consultant told us he may die & we decided on not to have him resuscitated

Update on high b/p azilect and theanine in Gabba-Plex

Jumping legs!
My husband was diagnosed with grade 2. PD 3 years ago. He is doing pretty well on sinemet. The main problem is jumping legs, either one. Usually late in the day. This is apparently Repetitive Limb Movement and Sinemet is also a drug for this but it can make it worse. Does anyone else have this? It

PD or LBD and what about me?
My husband of 12 years was diagnosed with Parkinson's four years ago at the age of 51. It was never a definitive diagnosis and depending who we see, I can tell that they have doubts. We're in Canada, so no one will give him a SPECT or PET scan to even attempt to confirm a diagnosis. His on and off episodes

Bathroom issues
Dad was having severe constipation, up to 7 days. Even with lachulose twice a day and prune juice. No results. Even slow results with using suppository. Neurologist just stopped sinemet to see if that helps. It seems to have helped but now he has been unable to urinate and now has a catheter last

Thanksgiving Day Tremors!
I know, it is not Thanksgiving Day yet! But I have to share this story. Ok, so I forego going to church yesterday so that I can get up early to do my Thanksgiving dinner shopping. Well , I don't really go to church much, but it sounds good, right? I always have to bundle up when I go to almost any

Question about Azilect
I am a stage3 possible 4 person with Parkinson's. I've taken very little pharmaceutical drugs so far. Mostly supplements. Is Azilect mostly for early stage 1 or 2 pwp? Can Azilect possibly help me at this late stage in my progression? Sinemet doesn't seem to work well for me. Please help.

Sinemet and Restoril (Temazepam)
Has anyone heard that using Sinemet and Restoril together reduces the effectiveness of Sinemet? I take Sinenet and have been using Ambien for sleep for awhile but would like to get off of it as its effectiveness has been decreasing. I'll be talking to my doctor about this on my next visit, but I would

My tremor exacerbated by taking a B-complex
Recently I found that I needed more and more Sinemet and still could not effectively manage tremor. After noting anything and everything that had occurred or I had changed about my routine that may have caused the exacerbation, I started reversing course. Finally discovered it was a B vitamin complex
