I am a 51 yr old female & before I was diagnosed I felt like I was 90. I shuffled, had inner & outer tremors, loss of balance, light incontinence, severe body aches & pains & was tired all the time. The meds were like a miracle. I felt like I got my life back. Almost all of the symptoms have gone away. I still feel tired a lot but mostly its because I feel better & push myself ...

When I posted about 3 weeks ago I had been on 25/250 carbidopa/levodopa for 1 week and 25/100 for 1 month previous. I have now been on 25/250 (3x per day) for about 4 weeks and the difference this drug has made in my life is amazing. I have got my balance back 100%. Before I was bouncing off the walls from loss of balance. Before my right wrist was very sore and stiff and I could not even butter a piece of bread. Now I have no more pain, can move it and have no more problem buttering bread. I can walk normal again where before I always dragged my foot. I also have my appetite back where before I was never hungry and was losing weight. My moods have improved also (don't know if that is from the drug working on the brain, or because my body feels better, thus improving my moods. As I said the difference is amazing and all in 2 months only. Also I have not had any side effects at all. I have also been careful about my protein intake as protein can affect how the pills work. I am really happy with this medication so far
