This is the first time I have joined a forum. It is all new to me. I was diagnosed with Parkinsons a little over a year ago. I am taking Carbidopa/Lev and Neurontin but just keep getting worse. I was wondering if there are supplements, diets, exercise or therapies that could help me? I am still mobile, but the stiffness is moving up my legs. I do not visually shake much but I feel shaky inside. I also have alot of stiffness in my left hand. Thank you for any suggestions.

Hi Mike,

I'm so glad you've joined the forum. I think you will find a lot of information here, and people who are supportive.

In terms of you Parkinsons getting worse, when I had tetanus, which is a central nervous system disease, I found that the more stressed I was the worse the symptoms.

If you can rest a lot, I think you will find it helps.

The other thing that really helped me, was having A LOT of B12. It made a huge difference, though it by no means got rid of the tetanus.
