Re: Intro
Guess this is my night to de-lurk. Long story short -- my husband (70 shortly/ I just turned 57) was diagnosed one week ago today with PD. He's had a resting tremor for almost a year, which I strongly suspected was PD but until it got worse, about a month ago, he made excuses for it. Finally got him to a movement disorder specialist and voila! Started him on low dose of sinemet only because my husband insisted. Doctor told him to make sure he didn't eat anything with lecithin in it -- and now I hear Phil talk about a low protein diet enabling the sinemet to work better. Can you elucidate? or tell me where to find more info on this? Thanks -- . You sound like a very special group of people on this list!
