Hello @alistair01
I would agree with @colleenyoung's message of yesterday that you do not increase your dosage of any supplement without your neurologist's knowledge of what you are doing. While a supplement might seem harmless it needs to have the OK from your treating doctor.
A number of questions...
1) If the thiamine regiment works, why don’t other neurologists recommend it?
2) Have you ever been on any PD meds?
3) Have you ever had any pain from your PD?
4) How long did it take for the thiamine regiment to work?
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

sadiecora. My husband has parkinson’s and I posted an introduction and question a few weeks ago. With all the messages on line, is there anyway people are notified and have their email pop up when there is a question or comment? My additional question is anyone having difficulty covering themselves at night? My husband is up a lot at night, too cold, too warm and too uncomfortable. When he gets back in bed and tries to cover himself, he can’t do it and gets cold. Would appreciate any special ggestions.
1. Ignorance.
2. I am on carbidopa levodopa.
3. No.
4. Solved constipation by week one. Generally takes four months for gross improvement.
Prior to high dose thiamine hcl I had trouble covering in bed.
