Absolutely amazing. I led a meeting of 8 people at work today. Truly I am 94% of normal now. Flying to Europe Labor Day weekend for a 20 day trip. Shopping, going to restaurants, outings and errands all easy on my own.
Wearing heals, had a nail in my tire, had It fixed, no problem.
I’m still improving. I started high dose B1 in April.

Hello @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member
Could you tell me how are you doing now with your b1?

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, my neurologist only mentioned nausea when I asked him about side effects. I don't like taking drugs so I tend to read about those I am prescribed. I hope your stomach problems go away soon. Take care.

Hello JewelyJulia, hope this finds you well. I haven't visited this site too much for a while, just reconnected. I don't really know if you're still logging in or not. Just reading old posts and wondering how you are doing. Do you continue to take B1?
Best wishes
