Hope that clarifies...

Thanks i have since discovered the webinar on pdonlineresearch and read that. I guess dyskinesia is fairly cut and dry but i wondered about people who have been on it being the same as someone who hasn't . i can quiet my dyskinesia by lying very still on my back watching a movie.

But I do take amantadine or I'd be worse. I just wonder about people who have been on it and know exactly what to expect, as well as alternatives, like being still and quiet would be as valid a measurement as someone who is quite dyskinetic and hasn't taken it yet. Come to think of it linda h hasn'ttaken it and is quite dyskinetic. i have to check the criteria again. is she too far along? i'll check. thanks debi.
