Lately I have been experiencing Extreme dyskinesia, squirming & writhing uncontrollably
I have been on azelect, carb-levo & ropinirole for about 15 years. Over the first 8 years My neuro had gradually increased my C-L dose to 1 & 1/2 25-100 tablets 6 times a day.

Lose the Alcohol. Bad mix with PD meds1!!!
Ha ha ha!! We just had that conversation 🤣 My doctor has a fit when he gets my results. I ask what my numbers were last time. Ahh excellent I am consistent. Both parents made it to their 90s. Of course there is the ol curb or sidewalk ya gotta watch! 🤔
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, I agree with @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member. Seizures are a serious concern. I was having seizures for a while. I discovered that it was caused by a chemical interaction between Rytary and Atorvistatin. My Primary insisted that I needed some type of medication to reduce my cholesterol, so he prescribed one that wasn't supposed to cross the blood-brain barrier, but apparently it did because I started having problems again. I believe that my blood-brain barrier is damaged. The brain is made up of around 20% cholesterol. I think I'll keep my cholesterol, thank you very much!
Love your response Melissa! I agree. If there is something medical that can be repaired, get it done in your younger age. You stand to gain a longer lifespan, than waiting until you old and not in such good shape.
Metaphorically speaking, I think PD just turned cart wheels! 🙂 I am having so much weakness and loss of balance, I started researching. It’s more of PD treatments for the various complications that cause ones demise.
We're each unique, @A MyParkinsonsTeam Member! Parkinson's usually develops over the years because of various infections we've had, some of us have been exposed to one or another chemical or another. Some have had great deal of exposure to chemicals. Some started life with genetic anomalies. Since every Parkinson's case is built differently, the symptoms will consequently be different.
