Aunt Bean from Tennessee, United States sends greetings from America. I have Parkinson's Disease. I treat my PD naturally and do very well.
Just a quick note from Aunt Bean. I depend on fava beans for most of my PD symptom relief. Making my own L-dopa extract with both the stem top buds and fava bean pods in brandy. Also using herbs, vitamins , organically grown vegies from our farm here in TN. It is a lot of work, but the fresh air, and

Levodopa and my wife's b/p tab interact synergistically :)
I struggle within our home, that is looking more like a nursing environment, as the sole caregiver for my dear spouse. She is afflicted with multiple sclerosis. Caring for her is physically and emotionally stressful, which effects my b/p. This post is to inform of a happy discovery that may benefit those

Xadago® (safinamide)
Does any body know where I can buy (safinamide) online? I need it for my dad who is on Levodopa (L-dopa) alone. I would be very grateful if you could help.

Book recommendation
"Mucuna versus Parkinson" by Dr Rafael González Maldonado, neurologist. Everything you've ever wanted to know about using Mucuna and more. Did you know that drinking green tea increases the effect of levodopa?!

Risk of long-term levodopa/carbidopa side effects
I recently came across an article produced by the Cleveland Clinic which was an eye-opener. It said "While Sinemet is the most effective medicine and has the least short-term side effects, it is associated with high risks of long-term side effects, such as involuntary movements (dyskinesia). Used on

NO TREMOR OR STIFFNESS AT A.M.
Why I don't have tremors or heavy stiffness when I wake up in the morning until I get Levodopa-Carbi pills? Same when L-dopa is going down, but an hour after that I have no tremors. Been with PD 15 yrs.

Apo-go-Pen
I'm new here, was diagnosed with PD in 2010 after Dat-scan. As the Oral medications wear out and dyskinesia takes control of me most of the day, my Neuro suggests to switch to The apo-go-morphine pen. For that I reduced by half my Levodopa dosage which is not without difficulty and 2 days before

Multi Vitamins and PD
My neurologist told me not to take multi vitamins. He reckons vitamin B disrupts the absorption of Levodopa. Any comments?

Xadago (Safinamide)in UK.
Xadago (Safinamide) is a promising new MAO (B) inhibitor .In the UK NICE approved its use last May. It lasts between 6 and 10 times longer in the body than the other MAOIs used for PD - Azilect (Rasagaline) and Selegeline. Safinamide is much more complex than either of these other two MAOIs as it

APO Infusion Pump Giving Me Hope - More ON Time - would like to hear from others who have tried APO infusion.
I would love to hear from others who have tired or are using the apomorphine infusion pump. I started it almost 30 days ago in US drug trial. I have come off a lot of my other PD meds so not sure yet how I am going to feel when I level out and enter maintenance phase but I am very hopeful. Levodopa makes

Research dated 2014 about C/L and rising PD death rate
Well this is disconcerting! Why is C/L on the shelf if this research is reliable we ought to be just using Levodopa https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25364278

Who makes your medicine. Does it make a difference.
I take carbidopa levodopa 25/100 and it works great. Last week my carbidopa levodopa was not working the same and some times not a all. I went one day with no relieve at all. I just happened to notice the maker. It was one that i did not know. There are several different makers. I had some left over
