My friend Anne
My friend Anne doesn't have a computer so she has asked me to post a couple of questions on her behalf. First let me introduce her: she has had Parkinson-type symptoms since the age of 19 - more than 30 years ago, and has never really formally been diagnosed - except that in January this year she was given sinemet for the first time - and she likens it to a miracle, a rebirth. She asks the following: Does anybody find that their ability to control an emotional response to a stressful situation has been impaired. Faced with a stressful situation a year ago, her body responded physically. eg increased pulse rate and blood pressure. A similar situation this week caused a more psychological reaction - she became very tense, even weepy - but her pulse didnt change, and her heart didnt react ( she has had heart problems in th past) She also asks if anybody has found increased sleep deisturbances as a result of taking just sinemet? I hope I got this right , Anne, and asked the right questions. Thanks Hilary Blue
