Levodopa Induced Dyskinesia - Some Thoughts About The Fear Of

Levodopa induced dyskinesia is a potential side effect of the "gold standard" treatment to manage the symptoms of Parkinson's. People with YOPD are more likely to experience to dyskinesia because they take Carbidopa/Levodopa for a longer period of time. What I am curious about and have been exploring is the fears about Levodopa induced dyskinesia and where those fears come from, and how those fears impact our quality of life. While looking into it for my Levodopa phobia video I came across a story about a woman who was willing to undergo gamma knife surgery on her brain before she was willing to take Carbidopa/Levodopa. Levodopa induced dyskinesia doesn't occur in everyone, is variable in intensity, and duration, and for some it is disabling . This video is a continuation of my exploration about dyskinesia. I am not a doctor. I am a woman diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2013 when I was 38. I experience dyskinesia. Some days I have none, or have just a light few, and occasion they are intense. But they don't happen 24/7. Thank you for watching & reading.
