Default dyskinesias

Knock wood !!!! No dyskinesia yet on only sinemet 4 (25/100) daily and selegeline (not an agonist).
The only time I've experienced dyskinesias so far is when I first started taking sinemet and in trying to find the correct dosage had dyskinesia when I had too high a dosing of sinemet, when I lowered it- they went away.
dodged that bullet for the moment

My doctor (MDS-researcher) has assured me that my getting dyskinesias is inevitable. But for now she thinks I don't have dyskinesias yet because I stay undermedicated most of the time, and that is postponing the start of dyskinesias.

It's pretty much only on trips that I fully medicate myself. At home I try to take one dose less than prescribed and just deal with the increased OFFs.
