Oyster -

You will know when the time is right for you to start meds - your body will tell you. Exercise and stay as active as possible.

I was given sinemet twenty-seven years ago when I was diagnosed. I'm one of the lucky ones - I've had very slow progression and I've taken sinemet all these years. When you start taking pd meds try to take the smallest amount that will give you relief.

Good luck to you
