Roberta I missed the start of this threead, but i am trying to make the ssame decision. I was dx in may 02, am 55. My left hand has become more and more uselss. I may have a mild case too, but i love your response--it aint mild in my eyes! Are you working? Why does your doc not want to give Sinemet? Because of potential side effects-dyskinesias? How about starting Sinemet and Comtan together?
