I also told him that my father\u2019s older sister had Parkinson\u2019s disease. He examined a couple of joints and told me it was not Parkinson\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"498\" data-end=\"669\">In February 2018, I had surgery on my left knee and received a full prosthesis. One month later, on March 27, I informed my GP that I was not feeling well psychologically.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"671\" data-end=\"906\">By April, he referred me to a neurologist. I was examined by an assistant. At the second visit, she diagnosed me with Parkinson\u2019s disease. She prescribed \u201cMadopar\u201d. Due to a side effect \u2014 constipation \u2014 I stopped taking the medication.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"1177\">On June 14, 2018, I had surgery on my right knee and also received a full prosthesis. During my stay in a rehabilitation clinic, I suddenly noticed unpleasant contractions in my legs at night. The neurologist prescribed 5 drops of \u201cRivotril\u201d 2.5 mg\/ml to take at night.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1366\">On September 14, 2018, I attended an informational conference about Parkinson\u2019s disease at the \u201cInselspital\u201d in Bern (University Hospital). I also went to a psychologist about four times.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1368\" data-end=\"1638\">On October 10, 2018, I met a friend at the gym. He noticed that my overall condition had worsened. He found on the internet the story of how the permanent needle was discovered. He suggested I watch the video, which impressed me. <em data-start=\"1598\" data-end=\"1638\">I do everything I can to stay healthy!<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1925\">Only two months later, on December 11, 2018, I received the therapy in Valencia. Every person is unique. The therapy did not work for me immediately. Slowly but surely, I began to feel better. I no longer need the psychologist. And I was no longer satisfied with my neurologist\u2019s care.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1927\" data-end=\"2179\">Following a conversation with an acquaintance on June 1, 2019, and with the help of my GP, I received a consultation appointment with a professor on June 24 at the \u201cInselspital\u201d in Bern. Since autumn 2019, I have not taken any more drops of \u201cRivotril\u201d.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2181\" data-end=\"2510\">Every four months I return there for a check-up, and each time they notice that my health has improved. Three months ago, in August 2020, the doctor asked if I would be willing to reduce the medication I had been taking since late June 2018:<br data-start=\"2422\" data-end=\"2425\" \/>\u2013 1 Madopar 125 mg every 6 hours<br data-start=\"2457\" data-end=\"2460\" \/>\u2013 1 Requip 8 mg<br data-start=\"2475\" data-end=\"2478\" \/>\u2013 1 Xadago 50 mg every morning<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2512\" data-end=\"2613\">Why should I change anything?
