Eg. if meds taken 2.00 pm & movement after 3 days achieved at 8.00 pm no parkinsonian improvement til next day.
But if meds taken at 4.00 pm and movement at 7.00 pm the improvement can be noticed at 8.00 pm onwards.
This is a purely personal observation and the above is for illustration rather than based on actual experiment.
However it leads me to favour the blockage/meds not getting to the correct place theory.

Since I started taking 1 gram of B-1 vitamin daily I am no longer constipated and its rare that I don't have at least one BM per day!

Default Good summation

I agree wuth everything you stated, johnt. I am worse symtomatically based on constipation, lack of sleep, when I eat high protein food near dosing, and on what activity I do. I seem to deplete my dopamine faster and sometimes supplement it with "nibbles" of a L-dopa pill. Anyone else do this trick?

I know we see fast proof that dopamine replacement works, but I am not convinced that lack of dopamine is the major cause of symptoms.
Since DBS seems so successful, maybe we should put a lot of effort into research studying the brain's electrical system. Remember pre- pacemaker days for the heart??
