    No I have not but I have had all symptoms controlled by 1 mg of Azilect a day since starting in fall 2019 after being diagnosed at 57.

    Good day John,
    I had leg cramping and my Neurologist recommeneded a glass of tonic water about an hour or 2 before bed. Works most nights for me. I have degenerative changes in my sciatica and the beginning of stenosis in the l3-l4 area.

I even sent a link to my husband and I encourage him to read the articles as sometimes I cannot articulate my physical and…[Read more]

    Susan Watkins replied to the topic Music and fine motor skills in the forum Parkinson's Disease alternative treatments 6 months, 1 week ago

    I started playing guitar to help with the fine motor skills and once the Azilect calmed my mild resting tremor. Most of my PD involves muscle and tendon issues which pt helps tremendously. Seek a pt that specializes in sports medicine as I found that they arecmore inept to push you and focuses on balance issues ti eliminate falls.
