Amongst our Mirapex users, has anyone found that shortly after starting the drug they developed continuous pain in their hip joints (or any other joints?) I found myself with pain in both hip joints within a coupla-three days of beginning Mirapex, and don't know if it's caused by a sudden start-up of the rheumatoid arthritis I was diagnosed with 15 years ago (after extensive medical testing, and having a VERY strong genetic predisposition to that disease in it's most virulent form), but which HAS been in total remission for 14 1/2 years (after 6 months of being treated with Naprosyn). I'm trying to find out if this is merely a coincidental resumption of the RA, or if it's another unwelcome side effect of the Mirapex. IF others have found they now have sudden joint pain - and particularly hit joint involvement - then I'm going to stop taking the drug, despite having received some benefits while taking a continued low dose of Mirapex. I can't seem to get past that 1/2 of a 0.25 mg dose without heavy-duty nausea and vomiting, so have stuck with taking the minimal dose of the drug, and being unable to reduce my modest daily amount of Sinemet. SO - Ya got hip or joint pain while taking Mirapex? Please let me know. Thanks a bunch... Barb Mallut [log in to unmask]
