Hello,
I have questions regarding each subject's medication history.
1. Are all subjects already on levodopa prior to the start of the study?
2. Is there information on the patients history of levodopa use (i.e. how many years they have been taking it) ?
3.a. In the "onboarding" excel file , the column "regular_medication" seems to mostly include non-parkinson's related medication. In some subjects it is entirely empty. Are most subjects not on parkinson's medication prior to the study?
3.b. However, under "other_symptoms" there are some levodopa related side effects. For example, for subject NYC_7, they have no regular medication but they have Levodopa-related hallucinations under "other_symptoms". How is this to be interpreted ?
Thank you

* All patients are on Levodopa as an inclusion criteria.
* We don't have other information like history of Levodopa use.
* `regular_medication` refers to other medications, since all subjects are on Levodopa.
* `other_symptoms` refers to other symptoms not already listed (e.g. tremor, dyskinesia, etc).
