Is propofol safe for a colonoscopy with Parkinson’s?
is it safe, or is there a preferred drug for a colonoscopy? I’m on rasagiline and sometimes mucuna and carbidopa….and should they be discontinued before? If so, how long before? Thanks!

Horizant timing
Hi All, always so good to hear about others experiences as well as the wonderful support of this forum. I was on Ropinerole for 3 years and max dose was 2 mgs for the final 6-months. This forum helped me to go in another direction. My last .25 mg dose was July 23rd. I also started 600 mg Horizant on

Provenge update
Looks like I may be starting Provenge immunotherapy soon, although I'm still being evaluated for castrate resistance. I finally found a local clinic to administer it (although I may have to go to Orlando to have the blood drawn each time). Interestingly, it is being done by a Urology clinic. Apparently

Nitrofurantoin - good or bad?
Not sure that this is posted in the best place, but I don't seem to be able to access any other links atm. I have been prescribed this antibiotic for traces of blood in urine just over 2 days ago. 50mg to be taken at night. Only on the third dose so it's early days, but had quick urine test done

Left Basilar Atelectasis and consolidation, elevation of left hemidiaphragm
Your experience with atelectasis and consolidation including elevated diaphragm? Pulmonologist much better than thoracic surgeon I'm guessing? My primary referred me to thoracic surgeon for new 12mm lung nodule. The surgeon (seems very highly rated, lots of experience) said the nodule was not suspicious

Apixapan
I have received a letter today from my Haemotology Consultant regarding various issues. He has stated that I should stop my Tinzaparin blood thinner and switch to either Rivaroxaban 20mg daily or Apixaban 5mg twice daily. I have seen in a past post here that Rivaroxaban was listed as one of the blood

If we accept that PD is basically a metabolic dysfunction...then electrolytes
The metabolic dysfunction theory as I understand it, states that the energy production factories inside the cells, i.e. the mitochondria, are for some reason not producing sufficient energy supply for the cells to survive, thus they die off. For instance, the dramatic decrease of dopaminergic neurons

hashimotos food changes
First post looking for guidance. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos many years ago but have arrived very late to all this info. There is a lot of advice about trying dairy free and gluten free. I’m willing to try this to see if it helps me. I feel like I’m really puffy in my face and my eyebrows have big

Sun protection. Mineral sun lotion on a budget
Staying protected from UV rays is high on many peoples list this week, with layering and staying in the shade so important. I’ve read that mineral based sun lotion is better than chemical as it creates a barrier on your skin that reflects UV light so t hey don't absorb into the skin. Mineral sunscreens

Another update on the swollen eye
Back in Moorfields today, turns out the original diagnosis was Retinal detachment,Anterior Uveitis, possible Scleritis. After all the tests today and a weekend of 60mg steroids the eye has improved, no need for op today to reattach retina as it is healing a bit. The cause of the inflammation seems to

Tryptophan vs L-tryptophan, which is best?
I have long had a sneaky suspicion that serotonin is more important for me than dopamine. So now I am moving my focus to boosting those levels. I am completely confused about the difference between straight tryptophan, and the "L" kind. Anyone able to enlighten me?
