Then you tell us that after 2 years on Sinemet , you started getting dyskinesias. Your question seems to suggest that you are hoping that this means that you have not got PD. The following points come to mind: 1/ You still have PD 2/ If you are getting Dyskinesias after only 2 years, you are taking far too much Sinemet. cut it back unil you get some tremor, and take it from there.
