Anyone trying LDN or interested in it?
I have recently had an appointment with my neurologist and, as expected, he told me basically that the only way to achieve a reasonable quality of life into the future is to have DBS surgery. He spoke of the risks, that not everyone is suitable etc etc. And that was it. DBS or continue to steadily decline

Chapter 6 - Sex, drugs and rock n roll.
Sorry about alluding to " sex " in the title to this chapter and if this offneds anyone's sensibilities but I was told by Jackie that sometimes patients who take Ropinerole can become obsessed, amongst other things like gambling with sex. If I was to find myself suffering from any increased urges in

Did you know that only half of our disease is being treated?
It has long been known that we also lose a lot of our noradrenaline neurons too. Recent research shows that it may be that noradrenaline loss is primary cause of most PD symptoms including the motor ones. It also is looking like it is the locus of dyskinesia, So what does this mean for me? It means you

Do anybody know if Zandopa would work without taking Sinemet? I've had PD for almost 15 years and have been on Mirapex and
Amanadine the entire time. I have a prescription for Sinemet, but am weary of starting it. I don't know if my medications have carbidopa? Do you know if it is necessary to take something with the Zandopa or does it contain carbidopa. Please help me if you can. Thanks. Also where did you order it from

Diagnosis to DBS (repost from www.youngandshaky.com)
In 5 days I will be probably be as nervous as I’ve ever been, even more than the night before my first court appearance as a practicing lawyer. I am quite sure however, that the events of 14 November are going to go infinitely better than that first outing in court (for the record it was bad, very bad

There is hope!
It's been 10 years since I was diagnosed - at the age of 58. I had been taking 2 sinemets (100/25) 3 x a day, and had been considering increasing the dosage to 4x a day - to make it a total of 8 sinemets a day - because, I felt that the sinemet was starting to last only 3.5 hrs. between doses instead

THE MORE YOU DO THE MORE L-DOPA NEEDED ???
I told my neurologist that my Madopar did not last as long if i was busy in fax a lot less . Neuro said that is don't work like that. Having thought about it I think he wrong. IF the neuro is rite and its a big IF .Why do we get less L-DOPA at night or. when we are at rest . That is my ARGUMENT.

Has any one had problems Breathing ?
My PDN is telling me that my breathing problems has nothing to do with PD. Which may be so, But if its not the PD it must be the meds. PDN says see GP. Which I did ,GP says that oxygen 98% and any thing over 90% in the blood is fine and can't find any thing wrong. I read that L-dopa can effect

Home made carbidopa-levodopa syrup
I had a hour long session with my MDS Neuro yesterday. The bulk of the time was discussing dbs. He did mention a technique of grinding up the c-l dopa and mixing with water making a syrup to be sipped through the day.... the idea is to smooth out the on off dyskinesias. Anybody try this?

Let me share my essay on Living with Parkinson's
I remember the day I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. My reaction was not one of resignation, nor did I come to the knowledge I had this incurable disease with fear or trepidation. The very first, initial reaction I had was relief. Yes, relief. "That's it? That's all I have, Parkinson's disease
