In response to your earlier question, I have had PD 10 years, but have only been dx'ed, 3 years. I went to my family doctor in 98 because of leg pain and numbness in my foot. He referred me to an orthopedic doctor and then orthopedic doctor referred me to a neuro in Jan. 99. The neuro first suspected MS, but the tests were negative. A prominent MDS told me there was nothing wrong with me in Jan. 2000, which was very upsetting. I was first told possible Parkinson's in June 05 and was finally dx'ed with Parkinson's in Jan. 06.

If the Stalevo is not helping any symptoms, I suspect you may not have Parkinson's. Good luck with your doctor's appointment and with getting a correct diagnosis.
