Pam
Dyskinesias (strange involuntary movements) are the result of
Sinemet/related drugs.  Tremor can be very difficult to treat.  After my DBS
brain surgeries to control bi-lateral tremors I tried Stalevo (Comtan and
Levodopa) and my abs started twitching.  i don't take any PD meds as they
only helped once.
