Just found out there's a whole bunch of meds that I'm on that shouldn't be on with Parkinson's Suboxone for one ida clinic quetiapine is really not bad one in fact most of them are really bad with Parkinson's and those are the ones that are giving us all these tremors Suboxone is really bad. You should look up all drug interactions with Parkinson's there's a lot of them in case you have any other disabilities or going on might have answered some questions for you

I had a DATscan to diagnosis Parkinson’s. It is a MRI using a special dye. Look it up on internet. My test showed a smaller round circle of purple dopamine as opposed to the nice oval shape of a regular brain.

Thank you Billy. I was diagnosed with PD last week and I'm still processing this.
Your note is very helpful- especially about your improved PD health since taking herbal medications.
I'm sorry to ask this, but can you share how your father died from PD?
I didn't think PD caused death.

Thank you and God bless,
Greg

I had DBS surgery in 20I6 I take Rytary 3 capsules 4-5 times a day. I also take Amantidene 3 times a day I was diagnosed in2007 with Parkinson’s. I am doing well, I still exercise regularly, do my housework work and keep a garden and flowers growing. Most days I feel pretty good but some days I need rest. Don’t just sit around and do nothing!! You must keep moving!!
