Faced with a stressful situation a year ago, her body responded physically. eg increased pulse rate and blood pressure. A similar situation this week caused a more psychological reaction - she became very tense, even weepy - but her pulse didnt change, and her heart didnt react ( she has had heart problems in th past) She also asks if anybody has found increased sleep deisturbances as a result of taking just sinemet? This is what I have observed in myself: Yes PD tends to exaggerate emotions. I find myself weeping at a silly movie sometimes. Our emotions get the best of us at the drop of a hat. I have found myself weeping over something not ordinarily emotional enough to cause me more than a reflective thought. Yes, Sinemet alone has cause me sleeping problems. Regards, WHH 54/18
