Yes, I have been diagnosed with Parkinson a few months ago, I am currently being treated with carbidopa-levodopa 25-100MG, 2 tabs at 8, 12,4,8. Still have off days, in process of getting a scooter with lift from VA. The cause of my Parkinson is the results of chemical exposure while serving as a combat USMC in Viet Nam. Would like to get a u-step walker. The mental trauma of dealing with the disease is still eating at me. I also have PTSD caused by war. Thank you for heling so many people. God Bless.
