I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s just a couple of months ago. The drugs that I’ve been prescribed help quite a bit.
Carbidopa-levodopa? If I were so afflicted, before going too far down the carbidopa spiral, I would be inclined to investigate an L-dopa treatment not having the depletion side-effects of carbidopa. The research done by Dr. Marty Hinz is fascinating. Take a peek here :

I would certainly pursue the best treatment available for the symptoms until the causative factor (fungi?) behind the disorder is identified and a curative course of treatment is found. Best wishes to you, FRiend. And please be vocal online and share what works and does not work for you in your future.

Thank you so much!
