44 male with noticeable symptoms really starting 2 months ago. Had a datscan last month that confirmed 50-75% loss of neurons. . Just started Madopar 2 weeks ago. I have left side tremor, sleep disturbance but a strange one is over active pooping!
I read everywhere that people have constipation, but I am the opposite. Since 2 months ago my typical day is pooping at 0700, 1000, 1130 and 1400. Bristol chart mostly 6 with sometimes 5. My diet is mostly vegetarian now. Anyone else have this problem?
Hi
I have been on medication for nearly three months now, started on Madopar which caused me to have horrendous diarrhea so changed to Sinemet, it has eased but still have episodes. Is there any thing i can do to help my symptoms such as diet? I am an 82 year old male. Thankyou
