Ivan - I  too am undergoing sudden changes and the fact that things are
changing is as frightening as what those changes are.  I am shuffling
and bent where once I was able to maintain good posture.  And I also
have beginning dose and end-of-dose dyskinesias, but still no tremor.

I also have these terrible sweats, and I have never had sweats at all.
My mother used to  say that men sweat, women perspire and ladies are "in
a glow".  Nice thought, but I sweat and very hard now.  It is in my hair
and down my cheeks but not in the armpits much.  But I can't attribute
it to any particular medicine.  I take Sinemet 25/100 (1/2 tablet 4
times/day) and permax  (1/2 mg.3x/day) and eldepryl (5 mg. once a day).
Only the Permax is relatively new (about 8 months) and perhaps coincides
with the beginning of the sweats. And you don't take Permax.

Perhaps if enough people respond wecan find the common denominator.

P.S. I used to spend summers in Naples Maine..  DO you live anywhere
near there.
