I'm taking it
10mg 2xday for hypertension, prescribed by my neurologist. It works just fine for my hypertension. She's willing to prescribe it for her PD patients who have hypertension.
Is it working for my PD? I don't know - if it is, it isn't a miracle cure. For a while I found I could type with my left hand again, and I thought HOORAY - I'm getting cured. But that ability didn't stay - it comes and goes.
But I'm in this for the long haul. I also still take CoQ10. Because so many treatments fail because not enough PWP do better on them - I will take whatever I can get my hands on that might work. (I should really start on Creatine...) and I just keep hoping that I'm one of the types of pwp for which these treatments are effective.
What else can I do? I exercise every day . And I refuse to consider DBS surgery (yet) because I'd rather save myself for a clinical trial.
