This doctor spent years studying a disease he didn't know he had.

Interesting story. I am a physician too, and I started with no sense of smell (Quite useful as I was also a coroner), then I noticed I was shuffling, but it still took a neurologist to make the diagnosis. I am controlled with Prolopa,25/100, three every three hours. I have the same problem with speech. Sometimes “the words don’t come out right”. Piano playing very poor, though this is no great loss to the music world.I was briefly famous as the Publisher of Stitches Magazine, the Journal of medical humour.

Best wishes.

Your story is very interesting. I'm also on prolopa 50/200x4 every 4 hrs. Who needs words when you have a piano. Uncontrol. Play as HARD and LOUD as you can. Best therapy. Found a little humour on HU. Enjoy.

I should have added that I was age 82 at diagnosis, so my active life was behind me. It must be much more difficult for those with early onset.

What is PROLOPA contents?

[condor39 in reply to Tmarsella]

Exactly the same as Madopar. The 25/50 refers to 50mg of Levodopa and the 25mg is of Benserazide.If you check with Sinemet , the levodopa is the same, but it uses, Carbidopa instead of Benserazide.

The Prolopa suits me better, I got a gut upset with Sinemet but the active ingredient is the same.

If you google these, you will get a lot more information. I strongly recommend you do what your physician recommends. It is interesting to ask others like myself, but don’t take advice from us.

Benzeraside and Madopar ingredients??

[condor39 in reply to Tmarsella]

Madopar and Prolopa have two ingredients Levodopa and Benserazide, ratio, 4:1Sinemet has two ingredients , Levodopa and Carbidopa. ratio, 10:1

They come in varying sizes eg 25/100 (Not 25/50 as I stated before)
