Dear Janice, Exercising is great. Wish I could do that. I do keep in motion though. Your stiffness and cramping may go away quickly if you add liquid Calcium/Magnesium to your diet and glucosamine. It reallly works well for me and took care of my wife's arthritis so well that she no longer uses vioxx or tylenol for it. Just a thought . I never did like track but I envy you being able to run all of those miles with PD cramping your style every time it gets a chance. The Requip never worked for me. Caused muscle weakness and blackouts. Ask your neuro or better yet watch the timing of your symptoms in relation to what time you take the pills.
