Barb, Jim has MUCHO hip problems from the start so It is hard to day if it is Parkie related. We just went thru a short course of cortisone - nothing elso helped and some stuff actually aggravated the freezing problem (weird isn't it). But the nausea is something we can talk about. I have Jim take some Lysine (500mg) with each dose. It did seem to with relieving nausea and stomach burning from the strong arthritis medicatin, so I thought it might help as well with Mirapex. We haven't had the nausea so far (1.0 mg. 3xper day Mirapex). But this could be like Lysine keeping away pink elephants.....we haven't seen any of them either! Arlene CG Jim63/14
