Does your size really matter ...
Met my Neuro yesterday and we were discussing L-dopa dosages. I questioned whether body mass should be a factor in determining dosage. I am 6 ft 1 inch and weigh 220 pounds then surely I need more equivalent L-dopa than a 5ft 2 inch 120 pound female (as an example).
The Neuro was honest and said that he hadn't considered this as a factor.
Any views from the wisdom of this board, is body mass a factor in L-dopa take up as I am tremor dominant and low dose L-dopa doesn't touch the tremor.
