PTT FUS 4 months later
I had today my 3 months phone consultation with Prof. J. (one month later). He saw my videos, with and without levodopa e said that i was "very close to normal". Indeed, sometimes i feel close to normal, not everyday, not every hour, but especially in the morning i feel like that. I am able to run again

citicoline as an adjunct therapy in PD
“A total of 7 studies (2 crossover, 3 randomized controlled, and 2 open prospective studies) were included. Despite the varied outcome tools, this review found that patients with PD who were taking citicoline had significant improvement in rigidity, akinesia, tremor, handwriting, and speech. Citicoline

This works for me.
This works for me: My thiamine hcl dose, four grams a day. I have raised my carbidopa levodopa to 1,400mg total a day. I was diagnosed, 2012. Four years ago I was Stage 3 - 4, going down hill fast. THREE years ago I was "blessed" by Doctor Costantini. Presently Stage 1--2.

What I learned only now after ten years.
What I learned today that in the ten years past no doctor has taught. Ref: Levodopa, the “bible”. “The New Parkinson’s Disease Treatment Book” Dr. Eric Ahlskog, Chair of Movement Disorders Mayo Clinic. I learned I must determine the optimum dose. What helps reduce symptoms. Thereafter I determine how

His doc who we see wvery 6 months to dictate the prescription just wants to up the dose (currently at 4 x 25/100

Levodopa =? Dyskinesia
I take levodopa (2 pills x 200 mg throughout the day) to turn me on. Also it helps to reduce my arm's tremor. It does help, but also brings involuntary movements, even hyperactivity I'd say. Mostly it's my upper body (like I'm dancing or something). And it seems as such a waste of life energy. Is there

Ongentys this medication WORKS!
I've been using this med for 6 months, with very positive results. I posted on this before and was surprised on the apparent low interest. Back in October 2020 I complained to my Neuro, my Sinemet was wearing off suddenly. I went from being totally functional to frozen in seconds. Also my dosage regimen

Please advise!
Things don't seem to be getting better at night. While I have foot tightening and spasm like sensations during the day, I get an irresistible urge to stretch my legs at night so I can never get comfortable in bed. Sometimes I have to lie on top of the blankets to get any relief. I had a chat with my

Dyskinesia
Theory...Levodopa is active for two hours. After which your body is free of levodopa resulting low risk of dyskinesia. One takes 100mg per dose. 8 doses per day. Or One takes 400mg per dose 2 doses per day. Each provide 800mg total per day. Your risk of dyskinesia is lower at 100mg per dose while

Why did adding carbidopa to mucuna make me sick?
I've been using mucuna (Barlowe's Brown 40%) since March 11. It's been working pretty well, but I wanted to see if adding carbidopa would make it more effective. I had some that my neurologist prescribed when I was trying to take Sinemet, so I took half of a tablet (12.5 mg) with my 1/8 teaspoon of mucuna

Need your help on this one. Please provide your input.
Since a couple of weeks my mother is having a problem. While walking or getting up to walk (after sitting on the couch watching TV) or a few times after getting up from bed, her knees buckle as she tries to walk and she collapses like a house of cards in a heap on to the floor. During that moment, she
