Good day,

I am newly diagnosed with PD as of last Friday. I am an eighty year old male and living in Canada. After a Physical with my Family doctor in January I discovered that my resting tremor was indeed PD after the visit to the Neurologist.

I have started medication, Levodpo/Carbidop, 100/25, 1/2 tablet 3 tines a day for first week and 1 tablet, 3 times per day starting in week 2.

I have a very positive outlook and am hoping that the meds soften the symptoms as I go along.

Sincerely,
Bill

Good morning Bill & welcome … I am 71 & I have Vascular Parkinson’s. I have just come
off the Parkinson’s Co careldopa medication I was on as a trial due to the side effects.

Best wishes
