I've done a little digging since the possibility of have B-12 deficiency was presented. Another glove that fits.
Effect of L-dopa on plasma homocysteine in PD patients Relationship to B-vitamin status http://www.neurology.org/cgi/content/abstract/60/7/1125 Conclusion: L-Dopa can cause hyperhomocysteinemia in PD patients, the extent of which is influenced by B-vitamin status. The B-vitamin requirements necessary to maintain normal plasma homocysteine concentrations are higher in L-dopa-treated patients than in those not on L-dopa therapy. B-Vitamin supplements may be warranted for PD patients on L-dopa therapy.
