Dear Don, I don't take Requip, but I have many of the same symptoms you mentioned, and sometimes it lasts for a day or two, sometimes it lasts for a week or two. At one point I hurt terribly in my neck and back, so I went in for an MRI and was told it's just the normal progression of the disease - discs in back compressing. That did not cheer me up. Sometimes it's so hard to figure out what's PD and what might be another problem. You are so right in going to your neurologist with questions. I am female, age 49, diagnosed 12 years ago, and had DBS 2 years ago. Good luck.
