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'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 an hour a day and attends physical therapy. He's staying off of them hopefully for a long time
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.
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.
Parkinson disease is a very terrible illness, my Dad suffered from it for 19 years until we finally got a help and a medicine that truly works that helped treat, cure and reversed all his symptoms•••My Dad is completely okay and healthy now.😊
Great things Dr Madida on RUclips has being doing for mankind, I undergo his Parkinson disease treatment plan for weeks and my Parkinson Disease was completely reversed...💫💫
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.

Well that really gives you a sense of outlook doesn't it?

A tip: Be more active, do more fast walking and avoid slips. Just never get bedridden or wheelchair bound
Th problem with Dr. Rama’s comment that he pretends that all patients are the same. They’re not all the same.
This guy should be struck off and retrain as an undertaker.

Hello. Can you take madopar 15 minutes early or 15minutes late from th prescribed time?
When I take sinemet it's side is very severe of tamer in jawas for 6 to 7 hours. Ita horrible intolerable any body have any advice
Parkinson's medication is not the answer I don't know where this guy got his doctorate degree but I'm thinking it could be out of a crackerjack box
Does exercise matter?
Immensely!! My husband exercises 45 minutes to an hour a day and he's doing pretty well, along with vitamin supplementation.
