HI Ervin, To the contrary, in me, toe curls and twisting, dystonic feet are signs of very low levels of circulating dopamine, and taking a tablet of either Sinemet , or generic (Teva brand) carbidopa/L-dopa RELIEVES these problems! I believe this to be the usual experience for many PWP's. Are there PWP's on PIEN who can confirm this? Toe curls and dystonic, twisted feet are the signs, in me, of the underying PD, of the disease itself, unmasked.
