Ok... Well, my mom says the L-Theanine makes her feel young again! I was thinking she would just take it when she went out to help with the nerves that cause the increased tremors but NO, she insists on taking it ALL the time. AND she actually was able to call the bank and health insurance company to straighten out a problem that was very upsetting to her and remain OK. She was just normal upset not totally distraught and unable to cope. That is a first in I don't know how long maybe years but at least one year!!!! YAY!!!!
My Mom has Parkinson’s and is attempting to go as long as she can before she starts the BIG guns (the prescription meds).
