I'm 81 years old,diagnosed 4 years. My medication is: 500mg l-dopa/24 hrs 80 mg c-dopa/24 hrs 2 caps amantadine/24 hrs. 4 hr dosage intervals With this medication I have an exercise routine for PD which includes swimming work 4 days and twice a week a vigorous massage. My excellent neurologist is responsible for this tripartite program. I write this to encourage more attention to massage which has done wonders for me. The masseur comes to my home in Philadelphia and charges $40 for one hour massage or $25 for a half hour massage. Give it some thought. Sam Kalkstein
