Thank you for your answers. They are comforting and I feel like trying again, which I will probably do around end of June, as I have a meeting with a new neurologist around mid June and I don’t want to complicate the picture of my symptoms before that. But I ‘ve already bought it, so here we are, and I will let you know for sure if anything good…[Read more]

Thank you Russ and Murray for sharing details on butyric acid product quantity and quality. I could be interested to try again, but I have a question yet:

– probiotics (still a rather new field but this can help restoring your microbiome)

I also take curcuma, q10 and omega3 from time to time.

For vitamines I would like…[Read more]

I have occasionally been given generic Sinemet and I found it to be 25 to 30% less effective (based on an overall guess, not a scientific assessment). Since then, I have always insisted on being given the brand product. And this was before the new Sinemet.

<li style=”text-align: left;”>I started using  Azilect back in 2009, about one or two years after being diagnosed as it was beîng relaunched in my country (France) after several years off and some improvements.
