It is hard to know where to begin. Yes, this site has traditionally been a refuge for the "elite" including at one time a certain Canadian actor starting a new show this week.

First, forget the willful ignorance approach. It s dangerous. Your doc's know very little about PD. You have to know more. You have to be your own advocate.

There is a ton of info in the archives. Learn to use the search function.

Welcome aboard.

Oh, about those legs- some possibilities include (in no particular order) wheat gluten, B vitamins, electrolytes, muscle atrophy.
