What a surprise
 

to see your post Carolyn. I bought a jar of it at the drugstore, from a display by the pharmacy. I read the instructions and other label info and thought it might work for me. I walk for 30 minutes on the treadmill most days.

The first 20 are easy the last 10 are a bit of a challange.
If I take the creatine I can do the thirty minutes easily,plus another 7 minutes.

I also suspect I'm going to cut back my sinemet because I've been more dyskinetic lately. Will let you know what I really think in a month or so.

So many options to try,,,better too many than too few!
