If I can get restorative sleep, my fibro pain is manageable. BUT...have had to just go off of all dopamine agonists (Mirapex/Requip/Sinemet) because of the way my body reacts.

Went to a neuro at first...not very helpful. Went to a sleep specialist...had good results until mid March. Hell on wheels since then.

I came to this board because so many people with MS/PD take dopamine agonist meds.

I am a Mental Health Counselor by profession....work with US Postal Workers and their families. Married...five grown children...
