Did your grandfathers shake?
Did they take l-dopa?
“Did your grandfathers shake?”
Yes they did and I was young but I also noticed their drawing back of physical norms for them.
My mother’s father sold his ranch and lived on it (one acre) until he was forced to move into a rest home. This was after he fell and broke his hip and my grandmother could no longer take care of him.
My father’s father was an avid amatuer golfer and a baseball player. So instead of playing catch or throw to my batting practice, he was slowly relegated to coming to my little league and later high school games until he could no longer drive. Both died in hospitals from the rest homes. Both in mid 60’s.
So no, they weren’t treated with I-dopa. It wasn’t approve by the FDA until 1970, a few years after they passed. And even if it had been before, there was so much damage across the brain from years of parkinson’s, the drug wouldn’t have been effective in the latter stages of the illness. And my father’s father in the lasat didn’t even remember who people were.
