I read the email from this list but have seldom post. My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's about 2003 at age 60 though I suspect he had it long before that. In the last month he developed a feeling of numbness in his lips and right cheek. I did some searching and have found nothing. Have any of you heard of this symptom? He also recently started taking a drug called amantadine to lengthen his "on" time and thinks he may be somewhat helpful. According to the information on this drug this kind of side effect is not listed. Currently he takes Stalevo 5 times a day and CARBIDOPA-LEVODOPA 50-200 MG ORAL SR before bed, in addition to medication to raise his blood pressure. Any ideas or comment will be greatly appreciated.
