I was diagnosed immediately with PD when I walked through the door of my MDS almost 10 years ago. I had no arm swing and a foot drag on the right side (something that I was not aware of) and also a visible tremor in my right hand (something that I was well aware of, and had tried to hide for about 6 years).
I responded positively to agonists for 6 years; I began carbodopa/levodopa just 4 years ago. I am currently taking 2 or 3 sinemet a day plus amantadine for my tremor.
I am 51; I was dx'd at age 41
I was not given sinemet until 6 years after my positive PD dx. Sounds to me like you will respond - I'd give it a try.
