Re: New to Sinemet

Phil,
I don't understand how rigidity could be mistaken for dystonia.  True
dystonia as I know it could be diagnosed by practically anybody.  There's no
mistaking the distorted limbs (most often a foot), pain, and cramping
characteristic of dystonia.  Rigidity from what I understand is just that,
rigidity or paralysis, hence the name paralysis agitans (sp?)  I suffer from
both and I'd gladly take being rigid over a 20 minute bout with foot
dystonia.
