What about going to the Movement Disorder Clinic at the Glenrose in Edmonton? You're actually closer than I am - i drive 300 miles from near Grande Prairie to see Dr. Martin. I wouldn't say he's the greatest MDS ever but he's okay for me, and there are three others there you could see.

I think it would be insane to start on nine 100/25 Sinemet a day. That's an awful lot of levodopa. And if you're feeling like your life is good and you're doing fine, I sure wouldn't let an ignorant dr. bully me into taking something I don't need that could have serious side effects later. We have to remember that somebody had to be the last in their medical class! Or neuro residency year!
