Dear Yen, You seem to have usual reactions on sinemet. In most parkinson patients these symptoms (excessive movements) do start after more years of using anti-Parkinson med's than you did. To determine the best strategy to fight these symptoms, which can indeed be very troublesome, one needs to know more about when exactly you take which med. and when you have which symptom. It is useful to keep a diary about this for some days and send it to the list. Don't despair, because much can be ameliorated if tried. You did not write about your neurologist. It is important that he can himself use the diary to adapt the med's or that he agrees when you do some experimenting yourself. Because as you know already, the symptoms can fluctuate very much, no neurologist can determine whether his med's are used the right way, without having from you informaton about what syptoms bother you. I hope to hear (or read) more from you, Ida Kamphuis 53(age)/13(years I am a Parkinson patient) Holland [log in to unmask] Aan 6-10-97 12:51, in bericht <[log in to unmask]>, Yen Hau <[log in to unmask]> schreef: > I am a twenty-seven year old parkinson patient.
