I was diagnosed over four years ago and I am yet to take medication regularly. I will save it until I really need it and have developed other methods of managing my symptoms and slowing their progression. So far so good... I will not win this battle but I will fight it on *my* terms.

This is a superb comment. I take a similar approach for similar reasons. If you simply mask symptoms you can’t learn to manage those symptoms. Still, I’ve learned I can’t manage without medicine. A diabetic can’t substitute will-power for insulin. PD treatment isn’t a one-size-fits-all thing. Do what fits YOU!

I noticed Parkinson's symptoms about 10 years ago when my voice would "collapse" for no reason - and I was a public speaker! Now I have all the symptoms and refuse to take pharmas/meds when my doctor told me that one of the possible side effects of the pills he recommended I take was hallucinations. Oh, yeah. Sounds wonderful. I'm all about playing russian roulette with my consciousness.

Funny you should bring this up at this time. My long-time partner, Theresa, who is 85 was diagnosed with Parkinsons about a year ago. She was "freezing" up when going from one room to another quite often. They started her on Sinemet. One tablet 3 times a day. It stopped the freezing symptom within 3 weeks and she continues with no "freezing" of gait. Never had any tremors to speak of. They wanted her to increase the dose to 1.5 tablets, 3 times a day for several weeks, and then 2 tablets 3 times a day. We declined,, as the "freezing gait" did not return on the 1 tablet, 3 times a day. However, late this fall (October of 2023) she had several episodes of thinking our cat who died 2 years ago was in the house. Also, one day she opened up the back door and called for him. She also thought two of her grown children were in the next room on several occasions. I then made an appointment with the physician's assistant and told her about these hallucinations. She said the Sinement could be the cause of it. even at this low dose. She said to cut back the third dose of the day to a 1/2 tablet for several weeks. If the hallucinations do not return, eliminate the third daily dose completely. If the gait freezing comes back resume the third daily dose, from none to 1/2 tablet, and report back. Everyone with this disease is different I guess.

A tip: Be more active, do more fast walking and avoid slips. Just never get bedridden or wheelchair bound

At long last someone I can relate to. My sentiments exactly. I was told take this but didn’t forget your anti nausea tablets first. I have Diazepam 10 mg as a muscle relaxant, Pregabalin 6 / 10 mg daily for nerve pain, Zopiclone 2/ 7.5 as a night time sedation 15 mg Methadone as pain relief and Mitazapine as an antidepressant. Of cause you cannot drive or operate machinery. These meds taken at a much lower dose would guarantee a great nights sleep minus the hallucinations. Stops all shakes , . I feel fine . My symptoms are minimal and under control. I have started watching everyone taking pd meds, I was shocked . I do know it’s a progressive disease but listening to a poorly man talk about loosing the muscle in his tongue and fearing he may choke to death doesn’t lift one’s spirits. I was diagnosed in Nov 2017 . I cannot understand why a cure hasn’t been found. My son thinks it’s because the disease is associated with elderly men with one foot in the Grave.

I'm sorry my husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease almost 3 months ago and I totally disagree with you doctor. As a matter of fact a few of my husband's specialists have concurred to keep him off of meds for as long as possible. He exercises almost 45 mins a day and attends physical therapy. He's staying off of them hopefully for a long time

So this doc is saying patients will freeze up and die. That hasn’t happened to my neighbour or to my aunt. The late stage of the disease would be different of course. Yes this doc would be a great undertaker.

I think this bull crap because… 1. 99.99% of doctors and researchers say PD can’t be cured (dead brain cells are permanently dead) 2. How do you know your Parkinson’s is “completely reversed”? I dare you to answer this.
