Marcus, I am not a medical health professional, so I cannot advise you. As you may be realizing, this disease impacts everyone differently and some treatments work for some and not for others. I can only tell you what seems to help me and that is movement; walking, weight training, yoga, boxing. Massage has also been helpful for stiffness. I have found that Rock Steady Boxing (designed specifically for people with PD) has been a game changer for me. Here is a link to see if there may be classes near you:

I have written several articles about RSB that may give you some idea of how empowering these classes can be:
