It took 7 years to get my diagnosis of Parkinson's because my symptoms are not typical. I now have a resting tremor and difficulty initiating movement, which are typical of Parkinson's, and I respond well to levodopa. However, I recently moved from Pennsylvania to Florida. Hence, a new neuro whom I need to give lots of explanations to.
BTW, yes the nausea improves. It comes back when you have to increase you dose though.

The sickness does not always come back.John has increased dose AND added Madopar to his Requip XL with no sickness.Our neuro is a cautious man so any increases are very slowly made.
