Taking Parkinson's meds with food
Hi all. I'd imagine not everyone is fully aware that taking Parkinson's medications, such as Sinemet or Madopar, ought NOT to be taken, according to the information given in the following link, at the same time as eating a meal with protein in it. The information seems compelling and, to me, even quite

Same issue, he says he can't get his legs on the bed and when I get up to check they are. Can I cry, I did last night :( Spoke to his Dtr today and she wants me to try upping the sinemet

I am a 68 year old woman who was diagnosed in 2002 with Parkinsons. I have been very fortunate in that I do not have dyskinesia symptoms unless I over-med. My symptoms are mostly freezing issues. I have been on sinemet (carbidopa/levodopa) since 2002 and have had good success; however I recently went

Changing from Mirapex to Sinemet
I was on Sinemet for several months and a new neurologist changed me to Mirapex. I have been on it for two moths and it is not working as well as Sinemet. I have read several reports that it is very difficult to come off Mirapex. Has anyone come off it and how difficult was it?

Fast-Talking, Fast-Walking Contradiction
A couple short years ago, the ever vociferous John Pepper stated, "MAO-b inhibitors are capable of slowing down the progression of Pd. No other type of medication can, to the best of my knowledge, achieve this. As a non-medical person with Pd, I would like to know why this is not the best way to deal

Eating habits and supplements
Hello friends; Hardly any food tastes good to me anymore. Severe dry mouth adds to this problem. When I eat cookies and drink coffee or milk with it, I love it (who would not:) I hope this is a passing face, and that I will go back to a healthier way of eating. I was eating well, until,

I have nothing further for you!!
Those are the words that my neurologist said yesterday to my husband and I. I was diagnosed in January 2012 after my family doctor was sure my tremors, muscle stiffness and unsteadiness was nothing. In the past 2 years I've quickly titrated up to 2 tabs of Sinemet every 3 hours which was ordered 4 months

The effect CBD has on my Parkinson's symptoms
"Adding CBD to a consistent treatment regimen gives me one to two hours of improved mobility daily. Improved symptom management is difficult to quantify with PD. But in general when I can get five to six hours of sleep the same time of day, and am not titrating my Sinemet, Amantadine, or Deep Brain Stimulator

LSVT Big!
I'm 64, diagnosed with PD 18 months ago but have had symptoms of no left arm swing, rigidity of torso, leaning forwards when walking, and bradykinesia for some years before that, no tremor. I was initially started on Madopar with no positive response, just bad reactions and I felt so sick I couldn't

Compulsive Behaviour or Two Loves?
I was diagnosed 5 years ago. I was initially put on a low dosage of Sinemet 25/100 with 6 monthly visits to my Nuero Dr. As my condition worsened very quickly (or so it seemed to me) After trying the patches (Had a skin reaction) I was soon on the maximum dosage of Ropinerole (Requip XL) 3x 8mg per day

Rasagiline or Selegiline?
I was diagnosed with PD eight months ago and was put on sinemet (12.5/50) three tablets 3 times daily. I still have some tremor and other problems. My worst are painful muscles when walking. Today I saw a new Parkinson's Nurse and she suggested that an MAO-B inhibitor might suit me better ie Rasagiline

I'd like to hear from those who have tried
sinemet
cr
. I just started taking it this week along with regular
sinemet
and amantadine and it seems to be helping a great deal.

Has anyone used a rivastigmine patch?
I had a memory test the other week and the result was not very good. The doctor suggested that I start using a rivostigmine patch. I am not very keen, having looked up the side effects, particularly nausea and vomiting, anxiety and possible kidney/liver damage. I am awaiting the results of a CT scan.

IS THERE A NUMBER FOR ANYTHING
We all don't know what the next day will bring for any of us with or without PSP. Since my honey got rid of the UTI and his med Sinemet were raised from 25/100 to 25/250 and changed as when to take then. He takes them 3 times a day whole and then a half for the 4th dose. Turns out to be 4 times a day
