First Post (hello Everybody)
My GP treated me with
levodopa
which caused such bad side effects that I had to stop. I was then prescribed Cymbalta, (even worse side effects) and amytriplene which was the same effect as Cymbalta. Recently symptoms have developed around those above and now follow this pattern.

protein/levodopa question
Many PDers find that protein interferes with
levodopa
absorption. Can any members comment on which proteins interfere most, and which interfere less? My mom has lost a good bit of weight and would really like to eat some protein during the day (she currently only eats it at night).

Anyone having problems with Madopar? Or more specifically Levodopa in particular?
The problem is what could he prescribe me that doesn't contain
Levodopa
for my tremor? Would appreciate any thoughts on this. Cannot have anything with
Levodopa
in it because of the severe impulsive problems that it causes me.

Flu & Parkinson's - Vitamin D in winter or a Flu jab?
Notably, the pain also intensified after taking
Levodopa
medication and immediately after meals with shooting pains making me want to climb its walls.

One doctor says take pramipexole 3 tablets, twice daily and the other doctor says he doesn't believe in it and take levodopa. Any thoughts?
I've been taking pramipexole for just less then two months and other then a few minor side effects I'm really not sure what's it's done for me. Anyone got on thoughts on these meds. Just wanted a second opinion.

My experiment with 2 recommended devices resulted in no more blood pressure pills and no more PD-related fainting spells
Both Parkinson's itself and the
levodopa
pills contribute to the problem.

A possible cure for Fibroymalgia, please read this.
I have heard a lot of different opinions on what Fibromyalgia is and on possible treatments for it. But I recently found a book that is incredibly useful. It's called " The Fibromyalgia cure" it's by DR David Dryland. It basically says that fibromyalgia is caused by your body being in a constant

BocowoA update - Assessing Damage
Assessing Damage Whatever the individual situation in the occurrence of Parkinson’s Disease is, it is fair to say that it is almost impossible to ascertain the extent of damage within the brain or central nervous system, and the only measure generally available appears to be how a patient feels or

BocowoA trial update - A Lull before a Storm
Having enjoyed the first few hours in feeling totally free of all Parkinson’s Disease symptoms (while being completely free of
Levodopa
medication for over 15 days) the recent heat wave brought with it an unaccounted for twist; and coinciding with a shortfall in the main ingredient of BocowoA, I decided

Head movement associated with Levodopa
My husband has been using Ropinirole for 5 years now but the doctor has reduced this and added
Levodopa
. I have noticed a big change in his physical movements. His head is moving side to side and he has a tendency of walking with his head cocked to one side.
