Yeah, Tommy, I had a little bit of difficulty wrapping my head around the "low dopamine" thing because it seems the more we hear, the more the presence of dopamine seems like an elusive and almost unquantifiable property - affected by as diverse agents as cigarets, chocolate, anti-depressants, stress, gambling, shopping, love-making, expectations, and PD drugs....

...which makes one wonder a little about the scientific soundness of the whole PD diagnostic process a little sometimes??...like if it's not this, then it must be that?

..so as to whether to try specific supplements to balance your chemicals out, I don't know about that...I don't have much helpful to suggest, but maybe to consider the vagueness of the info you got and ask for more specificity from your doc???

good luck, kid. Hope you feel better.
