Hi
I am new to the forum as I have only recently been diagnosed with PD.
I started on Levadopa (Cocareldopa). I initially took 1 x 3 per day. I have now doubled my dose to 2 x 3 per day, taken at 9 am, 2 pm and 7 pm. After the first 3 days of starting the tablets I felt great but sadly it only lasted for 2 days. I haven't really been given any information on what to expect so joining this forum has been a godsend to me.
Initially I was diagnosed by my 1st Neurologist as having MSA and I decided to go for a 2nd opinon as the prospects of MSA frightened me to death. The one I am under now seems to think it is Parkinson's.but as I have a variety of other problems it has been difficult to diagnose.
I go back to see my neurologist on 9 th Sept so hopefully i will get some advice then as since I started the Levadopa I have been having a lot of headaches and trouble with my vision. I had been diagnosed with double vision before and have prisms in my glasses but my eyesight it seems much worse now and the spells of Diplopia last longer than before. Does anyone else have similar problem to me ?
Regards Jean
