PD. Sleep Issues - Any Advise
Hi. I was diagnosed with PD in June 2012 I am currently on 100/25 Co-careldopa, x3 per day, 2.62mg Mirapexin & 10mg Seligiline. My issues are that I am constantly tired. I tend to grab 4-5 hours sleep at night but wake at around 0400. I'm struggling to stay awake at work throughout the day at the computer

IF YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.. BEFORE PD, I WAS A CHEESE BURGER.
Eating a very proteinic meal reduces the likelihood of effectively absorbing
levodopa
, so you may want to leave meat, fish and cheese for dinner and eat more carbohydrates and vegetables during the day.

Postural Instability Gait Disorder PIGD
I also note the Sinemet (
Levodopa
Cardopa) ... dopamine replacement seems to have little or no effect on my minor symptoms. These two facts stated, is this sufficient to put me in the PIGD camp as opposed to the Tremors at Rest camp?

Why start treatment with levodopa?
The aim was to delay taking
levodopa
as long as possible which in turn would delay onset of motor fluctuations and dyskinesia. Inevitably, the loss of dopamine was not matched by agonist and MAOb, and then
levodopa
was introduced.

‘Don’t delay, start today’: delaying levodopa does not delay motor complications
An interesting article from Dec 2014 edition of Brain, challenging the need to delay starting
levodopa
treatment. http://brain.oxfordjournals.org/content/137/10/2628

levodopa
/carbidop 100/25 mg. I'm taking 6 tablets a day. I'm still limping, still stiff and my neurologist says after the new year I need to see his associate. Is stronger meds, is it something else other then pd?

Stalevo
I just worry about the other stuff alongside the
levodopa
- the 25mg cardopa and 200mg entacapone in every single tablet. I've experimented with Stalevo 100, 150 and 200 but when I tried 4 x 150 recently I was freezing between doses.

Kratom - the Holy Grail of RLS?
I know I have experienced that for the first time in my life this year, (I'm in my mid 40's), the ability to sit at rest and to have my RLS symptoms completely - COMPLETELY removed. After Miripexin, Tramadol, Comedienne, L-Dopa, stopping alcohol/nicotine/caffeine, Magnesium, Potassium and Iron supplements

Position of relief from foot dystonia
Finally the
levodopa
kicked in and I could sit and stand. It has helped several times. I'm scheduled for DBS in December, maybe the fix.

Pre DBS musings... making the blind eye see
That was pre carbodopa-
levodopa
days. Many of them were farmers and ranchers that were not the kind of people that lay down and surrender. I personally knew none of them that beat PD despite their valiant efforts to do so.

Understanding Suicide and Parkinson's Disease
A person newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease is typically prescribed medication that falls under one of three main classes:
levodopa
(to help supplement the dopamine that is lost), MAO-B inhibitors (which keep dopamine from breaking down), or dopamine agonists (drugs that mimic the action of dopamine

New information on sinemet
Expert practitioners who reported in this database utilized
levodopa
more than any other drug-- including dopamine agonists, and they used
levodopa
more (not less) as disease durations increased.

Pineapple , Watermelon,Sweet potatoes,asparagus, mushrooms etc, Can reduce L-Dopa absorption time,enhance ON time,slow PD progression !!
Experience of my friend one among us : I had two glasses of pineapple juice ( rich in Mannitol ) 20 minutes after taking my PD medication Syndopa CR125 ( L-dopa / C-dopa tabs), and the result was very good. My medication absorption time reduced from one and a half hrs to 50 minutes, and the effective
