Hi Bettie, My name is Janice, I was diagnosed one year and a half ago myself. I do have leg cramps also, at night most of the time. I was on Parlodel and Sinemet, but have a new doc. and now I am on Requip only. I want the Sinemet back. I have a lot of tremors and a shuffled walk when thing are not going well. I am going to be 52 in August. By the way I grew up in Oregon I lived in Tri City for fifteen years. I moved to California in 1966. For the pain in my legs I take Ibuprofen three tablets. I would talk to a doc before taking the Valium for it may not mix well with what you are taking for the PD. Please keep in touch. My e-mail address is [log in to unmask] I have a book called the Essential guide to PRESCRIPTION DRUGS it will tell what you can not take with you PD pills.
