Hi Oyster,
I tried to manage my PD symptoms using alternative treatments & therapies for 2 yrs after dx with loads of support from my UK med team. I took glucosamine & chondroitin, bromelaine,B complex, CoQ10, vitamin E & Selenium. I practised Yoga, hydrotherapy,swimming, physio & meditation. At first it seemed OK but I gradually became less & less mobile, had some bad falls, walking deteriorated etc. After starting ropinirole my symptoms eased rapidly. I still use some alternatives: 5 elements acupuncture & Yoga. I swim regularly, do hydro once a week& do balancing exercises on my Pilates cushion. Striking the balnce that's right for you seems to be the key as we are all different.
