Default I don't know if anyone is following this or not

But I will report at least one more time on what I consider a bloomin' miracle.

I am in week nine or so and am still blown away by how well this stuff works. I have cut back on meds, increased their spacing, and am getting better results. In fact I feel that I am getting better across the board.

Turning in bed, which once was an agony of frustration, is now a non-issue.

I am taking a last dose of meds at 2:00 PM and often going well until an 11 PM bedtime.

Daytime "offs" were near incapacitating but are almost unknown now.

Bladder control is also almost a non-issue now.

Stamina is great. Going all day long.

Stress no longer has a hold on my symptoms.

Pulse rate has dropped from mid-90s to mid-70s.

Blood pressure is at 130 to 135 over 90 to 93 despite my having stopped taking hyzaar a month ago. Those readings are very similar to what I had when I was taking it.

Sleeping well.

Wake in better condition than before.

You have to understand that I was in a bad way when I started this the end of May. Off most of the day. Routinely going off in public or feeling it coming just making it home and struggling to get from truck to house. Freezing so bad that lost bladder control trying to get to john, twice. Losing entire days. Had a three day period when I could not leave house.

The only negatives noted are low level dyskinesias a wearing off phase but they respond to dosage manipulation.

I know of one other PWP who is trying this and started about the same time. He reports almost identical results.
