FOR THE OLDER PD sufferers , the side effects will affect 100% of them after 7 to 10 years of intake ,
so yes , Levadopa meds means side effects FOR SURE
i don't want to frighten you , but be warned
if you have the ability to wait a few months before starting levadopa meds , i would suggest you to do a lot of juicing , try nicotine patch therapy and sports ....
there are a few groups on Facebook where you can find pd'ers using those methods
kind regards
