It makes sense that the lack of dysconesias would lower the metabolism but doesn't explain being hungry all the time. I can't post the link because I a new but I found a really good article on PD in general. JUst google PennStateHershey Parkinsons Disease. The article pretty much covers a lot of questions. I have ordered Forskolin Extract standardized at 20%. This is for weight loss and should not interfere with any PD or DBS benefits. It is not a stimulant but a supplement for weight loss. Normally I would not believe in this but I first heard of it on the DR Oz show. Anyway I will be getting it from Amazon this weeks and let the forum know if I feel any different and what effect ,if any, it has on body fat.
Have a great week!
