Not sure I understand your statement. Both medicines are for Dopamine; both are used in Parkinson's and in Long Covid and other dopamine disorders. Long Covid can damage dopamine cells in the brain (similar to Parkinson's). That does not mean that long term, it is Parkinson's.
Just thought I would mention. When I googled Glutathione and Parkinson's it said Glutathione (GSH) can protect dopamine receptors and neurons from damage and oxidative stress .
Because of my internal tremors, tics and paternal history of Parkinson's, my neurologist ruled it out. What did your neuro base his/her diagnosis on? An office exam? An MRI?
Long Covid can mimic many of the symptoms of Parkinsons. I believe this is due to the effect LC has on Dopamine in the brain. I have also been ruled out for Parkinsons, but I have tremors and twitching, etc. I take both Ropinerol and Amantadine. Both have really helped along with Sertraline (SSRI).
What are your symptoms? Did the doctor say what led them to believe it was Parkinson's? With that type of a diagnosis I would absolutely get a second opinion.
My doctor has not diagnosed me with PD, probably because I was diagnosed with Long Covid by the Mayo Clinic before. However, he says many of my symptoms are similar to PD. He even prescribed Pramipexole, a drug they use for PD. This is not very surprising, since the more and more dementias are studied, they think there is a viral connection. Fortunately, he also prescribed Valacyclovir at high doses and for an extended period and that has helped me. I took pramipexole but that did not help.
