Hi everybody,
Just a quick update on my PD, dx a few months ago and after reading through the forum I'm beginning to realise my life isn't over so thanks for all the good advice and reassurance.
- i'm now up to 8mg prolonged release re-quip XL and its making me feel a bit nauseous at times and very tired around mid-day, still haven't noticed any improvement in my tremors ?????????? anyway, doctor said he'll be starting me on senimat (or something that sounds like that at the end of the month.
Wondering what that holds for me, otherwise things are fine, haven't done anything crazy (yet) but the day is young.
Keep you posted

Hi, My husband was dx on Wednesday, had sinemet 3 a day for about 10 days from GP prior to been dx. The Neuro put him on sinemet plus on Wednesday 3 a day again but the sinemet plus is double the strength of what he was on, it's early days but I like what I see, sleeping better and sounding and looking much better. Like you he has a tremor which can be quite frantic at times and still is but I don't think he tremors as much as he used to, but when he does its more frantic, I am just grateful for small mercies, as he has been unwell for so long. I would like to know when you can give yourself the thumbs up for not having side effects with the Sinemet plus, after a week or a month does any one know? love hols x
