How am I able to supplement my diet with protein that I can take during the early hours of the morning.
Thank you.

Jolot; I'm also 76, having been diagnosed with PD almost 14 years ago at 63. I take generic Sinemet, 25/100 and 50/200CR every three or three and a half hours. That's a lot of L-DOPA, but it controls my symptoms, and I am fortunate to have very little dyskinesia and essentially no tremor.
When I eat protein, I "shoot for the middle", the second of the three hours between doses.
If I've learned nothing else in my years of experiencing and observing this disease (two other family members had PD) it is that every case is different. The best we can do is to share what works for us with others.
