Redding, CA

Hi. the neuro told me she thibks i have parkenson and she put me on Neuro . I have taken the patch for 5 days. It has stopped my walking sideways my tremors has stopped. So because the patches are helping does that mean I actually have parkenson,?? I also have epilepsy. I have had tremors for a couple of yrs and now there gone. But was getting worse. I need to know if I have it because the med are working.

That is usually the answer. If the sinemet works then you have PD. Nice to know something works. Hang in there.

I agree. If it didn’t work you wouldn’t have PD. I have been on carbodopa/levodopa for almost 30 years! Still working but I take a lot to keep moving. You believe exercise is the most effective therapy. In fact that is the only “known “ in Parkinson’s therapies that really helps the progression and makes me feel better
