Default Consider trying these

I was diagnosed with PD in Jan 07 - mostly left arm and hand tremors with some tremor occurrence in shoulders and left leg. After an Internet search I began taking low dose naltrexone and a calcium channel blocker called Dynacirc. Both are prescription medications, but my doctor was willing to prescribe them for me at my request. Later, because of a heart problem unrelated to PD, I was switched to another calcium channel blocker called Cardizem. I have had no symptom progression since I started on the meds. They don't treat symptoms, but reportedly, they do prevent symptom progression, and side effects seem to be minimal. They seem to be working for me, though of course no one can know what the future will bring. Good luck.
