I am having difficulty driving as my right leg jerks and therefore the car leapfrogs - I live in a rural community and need the car. This problem comes on most afternoons but can appear at any time. I take my meds Sinemet and Selegilene 4x a day does anyone know if increasing the meds will solve this frightening occurence. Thank you
Leg jerking
The amount of drugs u take depends on how bad your condition is or/and how long you've had it.
Re the car I have recently bought an AUtomatic with Cruise Control . The automatic removes all
the clutch activity with the left foot . The CC feature means u dont have to use the accelerator
as much with the right , in fact u can mildly increase or decrease speed using a switch on the
steering wheel.
... I have found these 2 features pretty good for my driving ... there may be more aids on some cars
perhaps .. I spent £5000 and got a really nice Vauxhall Meriva Deisel.

I to changed to an automatic on being diagnosed, and have found it really beneficial, one problem I am having though is that my left arm aches after a short while when driving I have tried different way of gripping the wheel and different positions for my hands but nothing seems to help.
