It's been four years since I've posted! Life sure does get busy.
I was fortunate to be able to participate in an education program sponsored by Steve Ludzik in the Fall of 2018.
My MDS doctor has always been skeptical that I really did have Parkinsons as his physical evaluation of my symptoms when I am 'on' doesn't indicate in any way that I have PD and with all his other patients he can always detect some symptoms regardless of whether they are off or on. He arranged a DAT scan in May 2019 and the results indicated that I do in fact have Parkinsons. My MDS clarified that I have a 'mild case'.
I was terminated from my job last September. I did a few home renovation projects, but then I got lazy. I tried starting up exercise again in January but didn't commit.
2020 has had a couple of false starts. But - last month I ramped up (way quicker than I normally do) and have been on the elliptical for 23 days, missing 2 days since I started. So I'm 27/29 days thus far.
As far as medication goes, I take 1.5 Sinemet 5 times per day, and either Amantadine or Pramipexole with each dose. I find that, for me - protein (and fat) interfere with the absorption of Sinemet. I've changed my diet such that most of my protein intake happens after my last dose of the day (4:30pm). I crave protein at the end of the day.
With the renewed focus on my health I've started eating Arbonne products that my wife sells. I especially like the protein shakes.
