Dietary Approaches to Improve Efficacy and Control Side Effects of Levodopa Therapy in Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review
I was surprised to find one of the ingredients was listed as a major contraindication with
levodopa
. L-Phenylalanine. Dug a little deeper and it related to protein and impact on
levodopa
. Found an interesting article on nutrition and PD too.

Real-time measurement of glucose as a proxy for levodopa concentration?
First directly, to measure glucose levels throughout the
levodopa
cycle (typically about 3 to 4 hours from dose to dose). Secondly indirectly, given the suggested connection between glucose and
levodopa
[2], it may be possible to use glucose as a proxy for
levodopa
.

How do you grow mucuna pruriens?
It has no medical purpose for me since I no longer use
levodopa
at the moment, but valuable if Sinemet and mucuna are banised by the mandatory introduction of JSB's therapy. 😀 However, as a passionate gardener, it's an endeavor that I hope will not only give me a chance to experience the plant's beauty

Dangerous Supplement. Mucuna Pruriens. Dangerous side effects you must know.
Counter reaction to carbidopa
levodopa
is unmanageable and unpredictable. Makes combining it with real Parkinson's medications a night mare. Maybe just a weed with a placebo effect wasting time and money while delaying proper medical efforts clinically proven to work.

How long off mirapex before moving on?
A friend with infrequent rls says carbidopa
levodopa
works almost instantly when symtoms began. Because I mays go several days without rls, I would rather have a med that I can take as needed rather than taking a med daily when most days I don't need it. Is this too good to be true?

My Movement Disorder doctor is on vacation and I noticed that I only have 1 Carbidopa/

DIY Parkinson's Glove Users - How are you adjusting?
My hypothesis is that it is acting as an agonist or amplifying my ER agonists to the point where they are out of balance with
levodopa
. (I'm agonist sensitive, too much hits me with crushing dystonia). Thanks for sharing your experiences! Jack's Mom #glove #vibrotactile

Levodopa just for exercise?
Is anyone on or know of anyone that's on
levodopa
just for exercise and not on it the rest of the time? I'm on neupro which has helped live a regular daily life but still very dystonic and stiff for full on exercise and wondering if I could get a temporary boost to get through full on exercise?

chatgpt and diet
It gave a list of substitutions and extra snacks along with advice not to eat protein with the
levodopa
. I had to prompt it a few times for amounts of some nutrients it missed. It was very handy.
