So good to hear from you, @louiem777, it does sound like you are making progress with your neurological issues but having some other issues that are keeping you busy. Taking the PD medications at the right time can certainly make a difference in their effectiveness.

It is good to hear that your heart disease with Congestive Heart Failure were diagnosed and are now being treated. Are you feeling better with the medications for these issues?

How wonderful that you have such a great support system. It certainly helps us get through the tough times.

I would be interested in knowing the medication that you are taking that makes the Sinemet last longer. Is it Entacapone? I've been taking that for several years and it does make a difference.

Look forward to hearing from you again.

Hello @hopeful33250
Yes I am feeling better after taking the heart failure meds the Dr prescribed. At first he prescribed me prescribed me Entresto, Jardiance, and Spironolactone but then my blood pressure was going way too low 87/63. He reduced the Entresto but then eventually took me off of that one. Just a few days ago I started feeling better.
Yes, the other medication that has helped is Entacapone. It has made a difference taking that one plus the way I have been taking my meds as well. I have learned that it’s important to learn how to take the medications, the timing, and to take them with plenty of water.

The journey with these diseases continues! It’s been nice talking with you @hopeful33250. I hope and pray that these posts help others that may have questions. It certainly has helped me. Thank you 🙏😊❤️
