Hi Diane, Please do post your response to NADH. We are extremely interested in everyone's response to it and hoping (everyone) finds some relief with it. Regards, Lisa Carper >Hello, > My name is Diane Turner and I've been lurking on this wonderful list >since January. The only reason that I have come out of my PD closet is >that after seeing many posts here on NADH I began using the supplement and >feel that it is only fair that I share my NADH experiences you. > > First I'll tell a little about my-PD-self. After many years of symptoms >I was diagnosed about a year ago when I was 49 years old. I am at what I >have seen called Stage One. It effects primarily my left side. My left >arm shakes and doesn't swing when I walk. My left leg doesn't move as it >should and is sometimes hard to propel. My left leg, foot, arm and fingers >get crampy at times. Movements on my left side are sometimes slow and/or >jerky. > > On the advise of my neurologist I am taking the following each day: > > Eldepryl 10mg, > Vitamin E 2000i.u., > Vitamin C 2000mg, > Beta-Carotene 25,000i.u., and > L-Carnitine 500.mg. > > In addition I take a multi-vitamin-mineral supplement and Calcium 1000mg >and Magnesium 500mg.
