I hate to be a pessimist but my husband has not found any real help from any medications and most have given him side effects worse than his PD. Though he can not move except with a walker, has very limited use of his arms and hands, can not get up out of a chair unless it is a lift chair or someone helps him, can't bathe himself etc etc, the medications made him so stoned he appeared to be mentally impaired plus he was having strange feelings in his head and would faze out entirely. We went to neurologists and movement disorder specialists. The results are that he gets limited help from sinemet but not enough to make it worth suffering the side effects. The one neurologist would like more tests taken but only to come up with a true diagnosis. He does not expect it to help as far as medications so we are not doing the test. Right now we are on a schedule of vitamins provided by Rob Schaaf. We'll see how they work.
