Jane, Thanks for your reply. It is interesting that you have had dyskinesia unrelated to to the Surgery and the Sinemet. Is the dyskinesia worse with the Mirapex? Like Dennis and Hans say Mirapex and Requip are not supposed to cause dyskinesia but I have been around medicine long enough to be aware that there is a often a difference between "supposed to cause" and "does cause". And I learned the radio trick last week. Sometimes it is hard to find. but it does work. The settings I think are pretty close together (if you are talking about the spacing of the electrodes). If you are talking about pulse length I don't know how long they are. Good luck on your peer councilor training.
