Feeling feverish

Note to Debi White: You wrote that your mother felt as though she had fever. I experienced this too while I was taking Sinemet. I kept saying "my skin hurts like it does when I have fever." I also had severe insomnia and did not feel normal. It was a trade-off, because it relieved my symptoms so that I could write and walk better (the right side of my body was almost frozen). I am 62 and have had symptoms for 2 years but was only diagnosed 5 months ago. I took Sinemet for 3 months and Sinemet and Eldepryl for 1 month. I then switched gradually to NADH (Brand name ENADA) and now I DO feel normal. My skin does not hurt, I sleep like a baby and I can still write and eat with my right hand and walk better. The main drawback is the expense. NADH is a food supplement and you buy it at the health food store for about $50 for 30 5mg tablets. Regulating the dosage is a personal matter, but you can take mega doses with NO side effects. I recently am pursuing fava beans as a supplement to the NADH to cut down the expense.
