My name is Rob and I care for my wife Mary who was misdiagnosed with Parkinson's disease in August when she had reasonable mobility and function.

24 hour sinemet. Why not?
Why can't they make a sinemet formulation that slowly breaks down over a 24 hour period so we can have constant benefit even at night? They already have sinement CR which works over a 4 hour period. It should be easy to make. Just have a pill for example that releases 100 mg of levodopa and 50 mg

A risk-free life is far from being a healthy life.

I NEED GUIDANCE
This will be a long post. My husband has gone from a diagnosis of probable Parkinson's, to Parkinsonism, to Lewy Body Dementia. At the first diagnosis of Parkinson's he was given Carbidopa-Levodopa 25/100 and told to titrate it to 3 pills a day within 3 weeks. I know how stupid that was now. That was

selegiline and mortality
Comparison of therapeutic effects and mortality data of levodopa and levodopa combined with selegiline in patients with early, mild Parkinson's disease Levodopa in combination with selegiline seemed to confer no clinical benefit over levodopa alone in treating early, mild Parkinson's disease.

Change of Meds
Hi beautiful people! My mum is in the hospital. They think she has somatization issues and that she is making up her symptoms. They say she can move she just doesn't want to. I trust my mom and she said that when they changed her meds from carbadopa levodopa to Mirapex, it's like the stiffness increased

A PD type? Postural Instability gait disorder
Hello, I am in seven fighting years into PD. My main issues are balance, freezing, bradykinesia and gait. I have essentially no resting tremor, no constipation, etc. with some softness of voice later in the day. I get RLS when the dopamine runs low, but I manage that with a self-directed mucuna’ L-Dopa

Sinemet dosage
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed about five years ago and, since then, have been on sinemet 12.5/50 mg tablets (oval yellow tablets). I take four tablets at about 9am and theree at about 2pm and two at about 6pm. Is this a high dosage? I can't quite make it out? Recently my walking has become terrible.

Memory and starting Levodopa
Hi, can anyone tell me if they had a harder time remembering things or were a little foggier when starting Levodopa, whether through Sinemet or Mucuna Pruriens? Thanks, Sarah

Long Term Usage Mucuna Extract vs Mucuna Whole Herb
I was formally diagnosed in 2011. Shortly after this occurred, because I have a 40 year background in natural medicine, and also because I was unable to tolerate Sinemet, I started to try various natural protocols that had been shown to be effective for some people with Parkinson's.

Has anyone tried Entacapone? How do you afford it if you have a moderate income. The wealthy can afford it and the people with less money get it free.

Different Med manufacturers
I take Carbidopa 25 along with my other meds. I had always been using manufacturer Alvogen.
