Ron, your descriptions clarify things for me, what I am getting are dystonias, Your description of your personal experience of dyskinesia is exactly what I have seen with real PwP, but descriptions of dyskinesia often sound closer like this:

"twisting, repetitive movements or abnormal postures"

This is exactly what I get when I am walking, not at peak dose at all, but when wearing off.

Thanks, and for the thread, there do seem to be questions.

I thought the main reason for people delaying l-dopa was to avoid the likelihood of dyskinesia. Are there are people on agonists only who get dyskinesia?

I would like to know more about this.....

Laura and Rick you always make me want to know more.....
