This was my initial symptom. I would get the spasms when I was stressed, and mostly in the early hours in the morning. The pain would get so bad from the feet turning in, I would actually get sick to my stomach. After taking Sinemet, they have all but disappeared. I get them occasionally now, but not like I did in the beginning. I would like to add that my jaw clenching stopped too, and I haven't done that either since the very first dose of Sinemet.

I have, however, broken all my toe nails from my toes digging into the shoes when the spasms hit. As a result, I am slowly trimming the little nail bits back as they grow out.

Of all the symptoms of PD, I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
