I was taking 1/2 teaspoon of DM cough medicine from 2006 - 2008 for neuro protective purposes

I don't know if I got any neuro protection from it or not, but it did have a positive effect on my symptoms..I started taking my first dose at bedtime, and the next morning I felt really good..My symptoms started in my right leg, and that is where my dyskenisia started in the later years..I did not have dyskenisia back in 2006 - 2008

Anyway, I was saying how great I felt the next morning after my initial dose of DM..I was able to slip my right foot intro my shoe without touching it with my hand..It had been a few years since I had been able to do that, and it at first I was skeptical..Was it the DM or was it a fluke?..Well that continued for quite a while, so there is no doubt in my mind that DM was helping to manage my symptoms

Five days ago I had been sick and tired of dyskenisia, and there was a thread around here recently about DM and dyskenisia, so I decided to give DM another try, to see if it would tone down my dyskenisia..So I took a between a half and a whole teaspoon in the morning after meds, and take the same in the late afternoon..My plan was to take the DM before my meds kicked in, in the morning, and before I went off in the evening, because that is when I get dyskenetic..

So the results of this experiment are, reduced dyskinsia, as well as shorted intervals of dyskenetic episodes..I was having serious problems with freezing..I would be getting close to my kitchen table, and I would freeze..About to pass through a doorway and freeze..Narrowing passages, and freeze..My cell phone would ring, and if it wasn't in my pocket, I would freeze in anticipation of not being able to get to it in time, and sometimes it would only be 20' away..It seemed, the more urgent the situation, the worse the freezing got..My whole body feels weak when I go off, and my legs ache when I freeze, or take half steps to try to get from destination "A" to destination "B", and when I get moving the aching goes away..The past two nights I actually felt like the DM prolonged the effects of the Stalevo, beacuse I felt like I was still somewhat on after the evening dyskenisia, when I should have been off

My drug regimen hasn't changed in a while.So if I take my meds on time, 99 out of 100 times, I get the same results, so the DM is definately doing something

The question is....How long this last?..I will post updates occasionally
