Madapor

Diagnosed Mar 18. Symptoms - poor gait with freezing, broken sleep, poor balance, no tremor, fatigue, rigidity, weak left foot. Started Sinemet 50/12.5.Upped to 100/10 then 100/25 3xdaily. Also was taking Aspirin75mg/Atenonol 25mg & Simvistatin40mg for longstanding heart disease. Interestingly the freezing stopped ever since PD meds - although rest of symptoms not much improved. Briefly tried SinemetCR 100/25 at night for sleep but no benefit so stopped. Possibility of vascular Parkinsons discounted after CT brain scan was normal. Mid 2019 diskensia started and breathing became bearably laboured but tiring 1 hour after meds. Some minor muscle twitch in legs. Saw GP and switched to Madopar 100/25 3X daily - no benefit still diskensia after tablet. At Xmas 19 I dropped the lunchtime tablet and felt better. Sleep improved. Noted after some time still tired and stiff at times and eventually restarted 3rd tablet recently. Getting dosage right is crucial and due to visit GP on Weds.
