we parkies tend to be either the 'tremour' type or the 'rigidity' type
i have bradykinesia, rigidity, some balance problems
and no tremour to speak of

i know first hand that sinemet is very effective
in 'melting' the rigidity and relieving the bradykinesia

i'm not sure if sinemet is quite as effective in calming the tremours
but i could be wrong here
perhaps some movers and shakers will step in!
