Difference between Sinemet and Madopar (Co-beneldopa)
A couple of days ago someone on this site asked me what the difference was between these two after I had posted that Sinemet made me confused whereas Madopar was almost miraculous in its effect. I'm afraid I can't find the original question but the difference is that Sinemet is ldopa combined with carbidopa

Look here, regarding PSP, this may possibly help...
Because my Daddy has PSP which is a

, meaning it's Parkinson's but with more added devastating symptoms, I figured why not give it a try. I told you I wanted to try it with a stationary bike for my Daddy, not a regular bike because his condition is far beyond being able to do that.

Recommended questions for neurologist?
Last time the neurologist had told me that my dad's flavor of
Parkinsonism
might be PSP-- I think because my dad can't look up. I will ask if PSP can be confirmed. Is there anything new in medication or treatment I should ask about?

How come I can control my shaking in Parkinson's disease?
Ken Giuffre, MD from John's Hopkins ~ https://www.quora.com/profile/Ken-Giuffre ~ I'm sorry but it's not psychic control or anything like that. The tremor in Parkinson's characteristically decreases its intensity and even disappears when the affected shaking extremity is called upon to make a purposeful

Steroid therapy (?)
Have any of you noticed improvement in your own symptoms when taking a round of steroid for an acute condition probably accompanied with an antibiotic. I have and I think I may have written here about that in the past. And now I have been prescribed an nasal spray steroid for acute allergy, and I find

Hello, has anybody more information about the therapy with nilotinib, one study with eleven Patients showed very good results (improvent in 10 patients). Open Study not doubleblind). If the results are correct, the "holy grail" of parkinson therapy. https://gumc.georgetown.edu/news/Cancer-Drug-Improved-Cognition-and-Motor-Skills-in-Small-Parkinsons-Clinical-Trial

Carbidopa/Levadopa question
I started C/L a couple weeks ago. It made me queasy so a couple days ago the doc added a carbidopa supplement (25 mg).
