Thought my body must need more oxygen.Now I take sinimet and permax and the pattern has changedMy day is made up of 3--4hr periods my medication taking 1hr. to come on fully,the yawning coming in the first 1/2--3/4 of an hour and indicating that the tabs.are beginning to work.My tightness begins to go I relax, aches dissapear, I stretch and yawn some more and am soon able to move more freely and normally.Wonderful. Tremor I used to have quite badly but now barely noticable -am just aware of a little at the end of med. cycle. The worst symptoms are tightness of mussels, extreme weakness and aching with all that follows as a result. I am unable to sleep at all without med. so you can imagine how thankful I am for it .
