Parkinson's
Hi, My brother's (Age 38) TRODAT result came as below:
Presynaptic dopaminergic dysfunction on both sides (L>R). Doctor Prescribed following tablets and he is yet to start the medication.
1. Rasalect 1 mg (once daily)
2. Amantrel 100mg (twice daily)
Currently the symptoms what he is having is mild and only discomfort in one hand finger movement and he is able to manage. My questions are
1. Is it necessary to start the meditation immediately as he is able to manage with just minor discomfort only.
(Understood that these medications create side effects)
2. Does starting meditation early or late have any merits / demerits with respect to the progression of the disease?
3. Is this scan report finding confirmed Parkinson?
Kindly help with your opinion on this please. Thank you in advance.
Hi sir
Parkinson's disease is progressive neurological condition and starting drugs as early as possible is essential.
It might look minor now but it will progress
