Ivan, This is one strange disease. When my meds start to kick in, they hit different parts of my body at different times. Like right now. My hands are barely working yet -experiencing weakness and tremor, but my legs are cramping with my toes curled up and my calves trying to shorten themselves by at least 3 inches! So much for the amantadine effect ! But atleast I havent been experiencing the dyskinesia. And that's what made me sweat.
