Tina, I believe a movement disorder specialist (MDS) will tell you that if you have not been tested with Sinemet one can not be positive that the PD diagnosis is correct. Our MDS in Chicago told us that on Tuesday. We had asked how they differentiate between PD and Essential Tremor, particularly if you have both. (Got that diagnosis from a message on another list). If it does not respond to Sinemet then the problem is some other movement disorder -- not PD.
