Me too. I have been craving sweets and baked goods. Seems to be correlated with other PD symptoms.

I read craving of sweets is due to the lack of dopamine. I’m on 25-100 twice during the day and 50-200 before bed, it doesn’t help at all with cravings.

Hi everyone,
Thank you for your comments.
This is an interesting topic that I hadn’t thought about before. My dad struggled with weight loss before DBS. I wonder if this could have to do with certain food types. Have ou talked to your physician about this to see if you could find a root cause?

I have a neurologist appt in the beginning of January, that is one of many topics to talk about.

In the seven years since my diagnosis I have been pretty steady +/- 5 pounds. When I get the opportunity to engage in my full exercise program (pre-COVID) I drop. When I over-indulge in eating (Christmas) I rise. I don’t feel Parkinson’s has influenced my metabolism.
