Barb asks: >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?) > > Barb, I didn't have hip problems, but I did experience fairly serious pain in my arms (wrists, forearms, hands). Also a lot of pain in my neck (okay, I know this is a set-up, but I'm serious). I stopped Mirapex about 3 weeks ago after reaching a 2.25 mgs/day dose, and I'm very glad I did. It just didn't work out for me. I believe the problem for me was that I couldn't take enough sinemet to correct rigidity in my hands,forearms, and neck without launching into totally off-the-planet dyskinesia. Also it affected my mood in ways I didn't like, and was a SERIOUS sleep-destroyer for me. So I am returned to a normally-abnormal condition. I have three friends here in Tucson using it, one attributes a car-wreck to same untreated rigidity condition. The other two say they are doing great. Kathie Tollifson [log in to unmask]
