Did you know that only half of our disease is being treated?
It means you may have another way to treat this without experiencing the dark side of
levodopa
. It means you may be able to significantly decrease your intake of ldopa and live many more years without invasive brain surgeries.

Chapter 6 - Sex, drugs and rock n roll.
We did show Jackie the film at my next appointment at which I was hardly able to walk and it was decided that it was now time to add
levodopa
into the mix in the form of sinnemet.

Diagnosis to DBS (repost from www.youngandshaky.com)
Generally, DBS does not improve those symptoms that do not respond to
levodopa
. DBS may help patients achieve motor function off of medication that is similar to their best pre-operative motor function while on medication, although this is not always the case.

Did hear or this ?
Another useful drug in Parkinson’s disease treatment is
levodopa
, which acts as a dopamine precursor. Other useful drugs are dopamine receptor agonist, such as bromocriptine, which allow lower
levodopa
doses.

Off the Ropinirole Now What!!
I called my Neurologist this morning and he took me off the ropinirole (I was taking 3mg 3 times a day) He just said quit taking them and he changed my carbidopa/
levodopa
to 2 pill 3 times a day instead of 1 1/2 4 times a day.I am very leary of this change, I have down time as it is with lots of tremors

By bypassing the dopamine system altogether, a glutamate-based treatment could provide the same symptomatic benefits of
levodopa
while avoiding disabling side effects such as dyskinesia (uncontrollable movement). The Vanderbilt team has focused on a specific glutamate receptor called mGluR4.

For all that want to know what Michael J Fox new drug regimen is here you go.
This is not the first time Michael has publicly discussed his personal experience with the drug amantadine, which, while not an approved treatment for dyskinesia, is commonly prescribed off-label to address the disabling side effect of long-term
levodopa
therapy.

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.

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?

I have been enjoying several posts on this site and have followed links and trails leading to complementary therapies and dietary supplements. These have given me plenty of ‘food for thought.’ However, at a recent meeting of a support group here in Plymouth UK, a neurologist and research scientist

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
