His first neurologist was reluctant to start him on drugs until he really needed it and he said once you start on l-dopa you cant turn back His initial symptom was just tremor.

Now he is with an mds who he has seen once. The MDS said it is his call as to when he starts drugs. He is scared of starting with l-dopa. His old neuro suggested starting with azilect. I am at a loss for what he should start with.

I see you have asked many questions treatment related. Your dad has been diagnosed over 4years and you are seeing the disease progressing. I presume he has tried other things you have researched but they are not giving him adequate relief. Whats stopping him trying meds?[/QUOTE]
