Default for one n dona

...the spelling doesn`t matter...it is terrific....the way you`ve explained what is happening to your hubby. Thank you.

Radioguy...?
10 years with PD
approx 4 years on Sinemet Plus and Sinemet CR plus the rest....blah blah

I have noticed within the last few months that the repetitive [although small]
movements,that at first seemed harmless...have not gone away.

a] When sitting my right foot sort of beats a steady rhythm...
b] A slight quivering of the mouth when pausing between speech. [not all the time]
c] Have found myself gently rocking backwards and forwards [like you do when you are rocking a baby]

No-one else has pointed these things out but my guess is that others HAVE noticed but are too polite to say anything...or don`t know how to approach the subject.

Incidentally,have just read about the benefits of Vitamin E in alleviating drug induced dyskenesia but hey...disclaimer here.....not getting drawn into any arguments about "suggesting" alternative therapy.

Just think its important to drop "pointers" and folk can read up for themselves...
Thanks for the "fish oil" info. This was the first type of alt. medicine a kinesiologist put me on. Must start taking it again.
