In retrospect, the first six years was really no problem --- just the right hand tremor, take the Sinemet and for most of the day you don't have Parkinson's. Then I started feeling dis-integrated, and it got a little challenging. Primarily it was my right side that was affected, but could compensate with the left. With the reference of Janice Walton Hadlock's research, I was able to reduce the Sinemet to 400mg a day, lessening the dyskenesia and falling. At the ten year mark, my left side was suddenly affected, too, and I began having real problems turning over in bed at night, loosing my balance and falling, feet curling up making it difficult to walk.
My question of the day is: Why did it take ten years to develop in my left side? It's wonderful to have found this community of deep thinking researchers -- there is so much nonsense out there regarding Parkinson's! |

I realise that I have not answered your question and was hoping that others will !
I know what the neuro would say: natural progress of illness. I hope that you will reject this kind of answer ! cheers Imad

I think most of the people here would advise that the best things you can do for yourself at this point are; eliminate stress, eat healthy food, get as much sleep as you need (or can) and EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE. Robert |
