Parkinson’s or Hypothyroidism?
First time I post in Thyroid, as I am usually in Parkinson’s Movement Section. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in Aug. 2017 at age 55. However, dopamine replacement (levodopa and or mucuna pruriens) seem to worsen my symptoms, especially stiffness. So, not taking any meds for a few months

Mucuna
Hi community, I just started on Mucuna extract 650 MG 40% L –Dopa from Barlow's herbal elixirs.. I have been taking one capsule twice a day for the past couple of days, it makes my head feel funny but have not gotten any relief from my tremors. Does it take a while before I begin to fill a positive effect

Suggestions
I will be receiving the Dopa Macuna 15% L-Dopa tomorrow. I want to begin taking it in an attempt to see if this alone will replace the Carbidopa that I currently take 2 times a day each measured at 25-100. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to take it? I currently take one Carbidopa at 7 AM and

Side Effects of cutting back on levodopa/carbidopa
My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2013. His symptoms varied with drooling, unable to turn in bed, slow movements, un-animated face,but no tremors. Over time more little symptoms crept in but nothing severe. On his latest visit to the docto, we discussed his visit with a movement disorder specialist

Ensure plus - too much protein ?
I have been drinking 3 to 5 Ensuring plus per day. I seem stuffed. Is Eplus interfering with Levodopa \ dopamine and motor function?
