There is a lot of negative stuff said about sinemet, and in the past it has not always been administered and managed as well as it could have been. It is however much better understood these days, and for someone your age it should not be feared. It may not suit, but that is true of all PD drugs.......

Thank you so much Lindy for the thoughtful reply.
To answer your questions, I would say the biggest problem for me at this point is that I notice the symptoms and they remind me that I have PD, which makes me obsessively think about it and worry about the future.
I was VERY encouraged by your statement that sinemet "should not be feared at my age". And I'm wondering what made you come to that conclusion.
