Hello,
My mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's about one month ago and I have been
lurking on this list for the past few weeks.  It has been very helpful.
I have acouple questions some of you may be able to help with.  1.  What is
the Feldenkrais program/excersises and where can I get information on it for
my mother?
2. About a week ago people were saying how eating a protein meal after taking
sinemet helped reduce lightheadedness and nausea.  Then this week someone
said protein inhibited the effectiveness of sinemet.  Is it because the
protein inhibits the drug that it reduces the lightheadedness?  If this is
so, should one live with the side effects rather than inhibiting the
effectiveness of the drug?
Thanks in advance for your help.
