Hello @royprop,

From your post of yesterday, it sounds as if you are currently taking carbidopa-levodopa along with the thiamine regime. Is that correct?

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.
