Hi Keith LIke you , my main symptom is the tremor on my right hand and leg. I am also on Requip and Sinemet but so far with no improvement. You mentioned that Requip and Sinemet are helping you immensely. I would be most grateful if you can tell me how much of the Requip and Sinemet are you taking. Thank you for sharing.
