I've lost 35 pounds since I was diagnosed 3 years ago. First doc said my body was continually exercising because of tremors. I changed docs and second one said I was over medicated. We started a dedicated gain weight diet -- table spoon of peanut butter twice a day, high protein drinks every day. I ate 4 meals a day. breakfast, 10 am, 1 pm, and 6:30 pm. I have stabilized regaining 15 pounds but can't seem to regain any more. I'm not keeping up the diet, but eat anything I want. It's really kind of nice.

Does everyone think it's there medication? I have been on Carbodopa- levodopa since I pretty much got diagnosed . I've lost 14 pounds since diagnosed can't eat still losing weight. I also suffer from tremors on my right side of my body . Could it be the tremors or the medication I'll both make it us lose weight ?

Yes, no matter what I eat I can't seem to gain weight. I am very active though and I do have Disphagia.
