Glad that you connected with @jrwilli1 about starting your carbidopa-levodopa today, @radioactivems.

Here is some Mayo Clinic information on this medication, if you're interested:

-Carbidopa and levodopa (oral route)

I also wanted to tag other members who have mentioned this medication or Parkinson's treatment more broadly to offer their tips and experiences @cartercd @jaybee51 @anro @jflamini @lkirley18. I'd also like you to meet @pbarr @dstrelinski @hopeful33250, who may have some thoughts or tips you for as you begin your journey with this medication.

What relief are you most hopeful for, radioactivems?

My mom died from PD, so I want to get on top of it. I'm dealing with quite a bit of trembling in my hands, which I would say is the biggest issue. I haven't been officially diagnosed yet, but I'm traveling to MN next week to undergo a series of tests. I know there's no cure, but I want to attack this, so I can live the best life possible.

Thanks for your help!

Mike
