Re: What works?


Hi Keith

LIke you , my main symptom is the tremor on my right hand and leg. I am also
on Requip and Sinemet but so far with no improvement. You mentioned that
Requip and Sinemet are helping you immensely. I would be most grateful if
you can tell me how much of the Requip and Sinemet are you taking.
Thank you for sharing.

Sharon

Hi Bob

I am 47 years old and I was diagnosed a year ago in April.  I decided to
see
a Neurologist when I was having anxiety problems.  I am currently taking
Sinement and also taking Requip.  My main problems are the termors in my
right leg
and foot, which it makes it difficult to drive at times.  I am still
experimenting with my dosages of medication to control my PD.  I am a
Quality Engineer
for an Automotive supplier and I deal with a lot of stress and travel.  If
not
for the medications, I would not be able to function in my job adequately.
The Requip along with the Sinement help me immensely, but the Requip has a
tendency to make me very drowsy.  You need to experiment to find the right
intervals and dosages that work for you.  Also I find that taking vitamins
B-100
Complex, B-12, C, E, and a multi vitamin without iron, helps me with my
fatigue.
I feel that you should consult your Neurologist and find what works for
you.

Good Luck,
Keith
