(E) Leslie, I am on Mirapex and have much the same symptoms
that you note. However, my ear (non affected side)
itches and I find myself 'scratching' it. A Benedryl
salve addresses the itch temporarily.

I am 53 and was diagnosed with PD 1 1/2 years
ago. I have this wierd thing that I am constantly going through the
motions of clearing my ears. It is worse when I am tired or under a little
stress. I am on Mirapex and my stiffness and mobility are slightly
decreasing at times. I'm still at the stage where my symptoms don't
effect me much. Just hold my left arm stiff while walking or running and
poor typing and dexterity with my left hand. So, I feel it's time to talk
to the Dr. about an increase and/or change of medication. My main symptom
is a crooked smile. Has anyone had this problem with their
ears?
