I am not to bad I think that the Parkinson’s is about the same may be a bit more tremor but a problem I have is what can be done about the amount of saliva I make , I is very annoying I walk around with a pocket full of tissues so i have some where i can get rid of the extra saliva .
It is a bugger. But never mind there is a lot of people much…[Read more]

I am lucky that   I don’t have any adverse side effects of this medication must be a bugger for you .Try Madhapur it has a different type of drug to ease the strain of the Levodopa  which is the same drug you are taking  but the other drug is different , they also are a capsule which in my opinion is much easier to take  all the best George

I think facial masking is one of the things that I have to come to grips with it is just another thing we have to think about to make us feel normal because that is what we want to do, we feel if we put the extra effort in it helps our Parkinson’s to me it is sometimes a waste of time why spend our time thinking about things we used to do without…[Read more]
