Hi all, this is Terry of the irregular heartbeat, PD and 1 faint (syncope). I had an appointment with my neurologist today. Nothing new - I still look pretty much the same to her. She said if I want to experiment on myself I can. So I will probably slowly cut down on Sinemet (from 2 to 0 per day) to see what happens. If I stay the same I will stay off Sinemet. Next appointment in 4 months. I'm not bad enough to warrant other new strange drugs or surgery. She said some of the new drugs get FDA approval and then they notice side effects, and have to rethink the approval. So she doesn't want to try anything like that. My symptoms are pretty much still just rigidity left arm and leg, cog wheel affect, minor tremor that gets worse when nervous or shivering from the cold. I got somewhat better when I quit my stressful job. Happy Easter, Terry Kempf 55/53/52
