For a day she takes a total of 5 Sinemet tablets. > > Actually she has taken almost all remedies available, even the dopamine agonists, Parlodel etc. > > Each day that passes now she is so afraid of dying. She is now 77 yo. And she thinks surgery is out of the question. > > I have been browsing through the internet for long-term PD and there seems to be no alternative other than surgery.
