Hi stingray,
Welcome to the forum. Sometimes it can take a little bit of time for your post to get noticed. I'm moving your post into the Introductions and personal stories section where you're more likely to be noticed as a newbie.
In the meantime, post below and tell us something about yourself and your journey with Parkinsons.

Hello, stingray!
I'm sorry you haven't received more responses here. But welcome to the forum! I hesitated to answer your first post, because I have no very valuable information to offer. My own case of PD is different, and I am taking only a small dose of sinemet per day, so I don't have a lot of personal experience with it.
I started on Mirapex, a dopamine agonist, which reversed my early symptoms well at first. Then over the years, I have added other medications, including sinemet.
I wish you well and hope someone with a case more similar to yours (maybe someone else who has asthma) will post soon.
