Recent deterioration in food interference with levodopa
Good morning all, I hope you are all safe and well. I wanted to ask if like me, you have experienced during the recent lockdown some level of deterioration. In my case I have observed that the Sinemet Plus is lasting less time (up to 3 hours in the morning but otherwise, 2 hours if I had food 1 hour

How long before levodopa starts working when first introduced?
I was diagnosed at age 70 about a year ago and prescribed Madopar 50/12.5, but resisted taking it until about 5 weeks ago by when a left hand tremor had developed to supplement the Bradykinesia, stiffness, awkward walking etc. Until now nothing’s happened. I was wondering whether it’s normal to take

Other reasons for arm tremor?
If Sinemet or other dopamine agonists have no effect on tremor does that suggest the root problem is not a dopamine deficiency?

CARBIDOPA FOR MUCANA ??
Whats the Carbidopa to be given with Mucana?? Mucana has been something we gave mom a few years ago , but that was before she had the fall which left her completely bed/wheelchair bound . I have been fighting a lot of battles as the doctors almost gave up when they should have been trying to help. Long

Looking for people who have phased out Carbidopa/Levodopa in favor of an all-mucuna program
I was diagnosed in 2006, and have progressed through Requip, Sinemet, and Rytary, recently exploring mucuna in place of Rytary. My maximum dosage of Rytary was four capsules of 3.75/95 four times a day; I have gradually reduced my Rytary amount to three capsules in the morning, followed by 350 milligrams

Could I ask your opinion on my symptoms please?
Hi All I wonder if I could get your opinions on my symptoms. I was diagnosed with idiopathic PD just over 2 years ago and my decline has been rather more rapid than I might reasonably have expected. I have many of the classic PD symptoms from resting tremor in my right arm, to bradykinesia, very awkward

Mild vertigo made worse
Mild vertigo made worse when I had ankle surgery and will be in this boot for 6 weeks or more. Maybe I have PD but signs no worse than a tremor. Could core exercises help? Should I think about re-starting Sinemet? It never did anything to help the tremor.

Swallowing and Throat issues
I have been experiencing a weird sensory trigger in my throat any time the PD medication (C/L) is wearing off. The same sensation is relieved as the next medication dose kick me back. It cause me an uncontrollable and annoying clearing the throat reflex that is driving nuts to me and my relatives.

Weaning off Pramipexole

Enterococcus faecalis and Sinemet
Are there supplements one can take to reduce E Faecalis naturally? Other than Camomille, which I already drink, and garlic, which I already take in my food, I didn’t find much. According to this link, posted by aspergerian13 a few days ago, https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/04/07/2003785117 ,

How much sinemet
I'm very worried. At the end of January they changed me from Stalene 125 ( 4 a day) to Sinemet 250 ( 3 a day, whole, half, whole other half) and Opicapona. With the Stalene I was losing strength and endurance, and I started to lose my balance, of which I also blame the Ryvotril and Trazadona. And the

Doing much better!
It’s been a while since I last posted anything, and I might as well fill you all in, now that we’re supposed to isolate and life has slowed down even further. Since I last wrote a lot has happened with me, and thank God, it’s mostly been encouraging. I’ll start with the Lyme Disease- I mentioned that
