All of the replies are so interesting. MY Theory is at age 14 I almost passed away from carbon monoxide poisoning. Over the years I developed symptoms very slowly until diagnosed at age 60. The first symptom was for many years people kept telling me I walked with a limp.

I take a product called DreamWell Ultra, Melatonin plus GABA. Also I take magnesium at night. The 2 of these together offers a good nights sleep for me.

mary parker replied to the topic Entacapone in the forum Living With Parkinson's Disease 1 year ago
Dyskinesia is my most annoying off time. Entacapone made it worse. The thing that helps the most for me is SAM-e and DHEA first thing in the AM. SAM-e is best taken on an empty stomach at different times from other meds which can make timing tricky, but it eliminates dyskinesia and improves my mood.
