Hi ! This is Karen, 43 yr old. dx. last december 98, Thank you so much for info on the body aches and pains question I had. You were very helpful. Do you know if this is common for most PD folks, or just some of us?? I've cut back on my sinemet and eldypryl and I'm doing much better. My dyskinesias are gone, but my PD symptoms are creeping back. I guess it is a science all it's own to figure out our medicines. Do many people ever get it right?? By the way, please let me know how you are doing; and if I may ask: What is your backround ? Age, dx. when? what meds you use and anything you'd like to talk about.
