I was diagnosed in 2003 at 35 yrs old and on meds most of that time; went off carbidopa levodopa in Dec 2009. Is there anyone else on here who has been trying or succeeding in making life as easy as possible with no meds on board? What are your symptoms? How severe are they? What bothers you the most? What HELPS the most? If you don't want to post a reply to this, please feel free to PM me. I really need some feedback. I haven't seen a doctor in about 3 years either, and my symptoms are worsening. Thanks very much.
