I am interested in this issue of cramped toes, because it touches a question I have; I have been on 25/100 Sinemet for a couple of years now, along with an ever increasing amount of Requip. I do get what could be described as tremor of a low frequency (reps per min.) in my leg, and especially when I get behind in my dosage, my foot will cramp, and my toes will curl up, like the wicked witch of the west. The question that has been raised in my mind, thanks in part to some on the listserv who resist taking the typical PD drugs, is: how much of what I feel is PD, and how much is side effect from the drugs? This question is unapologetically meant to stir debate. I also have questions for those of you who do without the drugs. How do you cope? What else can help you control your symptoms? Are there doctors, neurologists, specialists out there that agree and support other approaches to PD care? Besides the universal concepts of good nutrition and ridding the system of toxins and impurities, what can I gain by implementing concepts from non-trad systems? Wishing all a fulfilling, effective, and happy 2005! Enjoy!
