I was diagnosed with Parkinsons about 4 years ago also and I also was told I had Peripheral Neuropathy. I was given medication (neurontin) and I didn't do well on that. I have since gone to another neurologist and have been given more medication for the parkinsons and it seems to have helped. My feet still hurt when I haven't been walking for awhile. I would check with the Doctor about the dose of Sinement and whether it should be increased. --- lacewell <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > My husband (56) has just been diagnosed with > Parkinson.
