I am confused as to whether I have dyskinesia or dystonia. I have been taking Sinemet for 4 years now. I call it dystonia, twisting and cramping of my left foot and ankle and all the way up my left side and arm. I wasn't sure if it was the P.D. that was progressing or the Sinemet causing this uncomfortable condition. In the last year it has become worse, It starts as my meds wear off, after about 3 hrs. then about 45 min. after I take Sinemet it gets worse and then after another 20 to 30 mins. it is gone. A couple of hrs later it starts again. At times I find it hard to sit still. Some days are better than others. It has been so bad at times I wonder how long before I will not be able to tolerate it anymore. When it comes to Sinemt I can't live with it and I can't live without it! I was dxs 5 years ago, I also take Requip.
