Thank-you for all your advice and help and concern
I just found out that my dad is on a low dose of Sinemet, but Im not quite convinced of its benefits. I've read a lot about how Levadopa helps with symptoms of PD, but it destroys the neurotransmitters at the same time. My sister looks after my father and only told me about the PD a week ago. They kept me out of the loop ... in my sister's opinion PD is nothing to be concerned about and since the symptoms are not serious (in her mind) nothing needs to be done. He suffers from severe tremors and his mind is not "there" so he is unable to say anything. When I found out I went online and did some research. Im astounded and amazed at the seriousness of this disease. Reading up on it and at the same time thinking of my father who has been suffering in silence all this time, makes me want to break out in tears. But anyway, back to my question, Can I replace Sinemet with Mucuna and if not, is there anything else that I can give him which will help, but is still safe to use for someone who has had a heart attack? Please can anyone help?
