Where in Michigan is your Mother located? Our referral list covers many cities in the state of Michigan and I'd be happy to check her area for any specialists listed. You said Sinemet made your Mother's symptoms worse. Specifically, what did she experience. There are several possibilities - the first of which was too much Sinemet was given too soon and she experienced sudden, severe side effects. I'd also be curious as to what other medications she may be taking - both for her PD and for other medical problems. Some drugs can counteract or negate the effects of Sinemet. These are just a few suggestions you may wish to discuss with her prescribing neurologist. Please let me know if I can help.
