If I flex or point my foot it sometimes causes a charley horse. I mentioned this to my doctor at my last appointment and he told me that it is basically caused by the ebb and flow of dopamine in the brain. I am just curious, how many other people experience this?

When my meds are either kicking in, or wearing off I get dyskinesia, and dystonia in my right leg..And If I try to skimp on the Sinemet, I stay dyskinetic and cramped up
