I have total respect for doctors and nurses but after spending a week in hospital plus numerous visits to A and E the system
i have had parkinsons for approx 6 years which was controlled with medication.the only symptom on a rare was my hand shaking
The medication at the time was a low dosage of Sinemet co-careldopa 25/100mg and pramipexole 2.6mg.
Following complaints of headache the doctor increase the Pramipxoe

edwina thanks
to add more information to the post about 4 months ago when updating my records of the mirapexin pramipexole 0.26mg which should have been 2.6mg ( 10 times less than my prescription ) this resulted in 6 days in hospital. I my opinion my medications could now be too high
6 years ago i would never take any tablets
