Default keith - to new thread

If you are willing, I would like to continue this and give it a thread of its own. I'll call it "Advanced symptoms?" The question mark is intentional. Join me there?

Second, yes I have had the same experience regarding stress. It certainly isn't the only factor, but it is definitely one of the biggies. Sometimes, in my case, it seems to be a function of just letting time pass, as you suggest.

Other times, I thought it was a little extra Sinemet that did the trick. But now that I think about it, once you take the Sinemet, you have to wait a certain amount of time for it to take effect. So I eventually relax and return to "normal"...but was it just the passage of time and relaxation or the Sinemet? Like so many other aspects of this disease, it remains a mystery.

Sorry for your troubles, but relieved to know I'm not the only one putting up with these strange, horrid symptoms and side effects.
Regards,
Keith
