If you're taking Parkinson's medicine, then you are probably taking L-Dopa (levodopa, frequently combined with carbidopa in the brand name Sinemet, though not sure what the name is in your country). My son also takes a medicine called Requip (or Ropinirole), which is for restless leg syndrome, but can also be used for Parkinson's and movement disorders. I don't know if you can find a doctor in your country who specializes in movement disorders, but that would be ideal. Or even a doctor who specializes in Parkinson's may be able to help. I will check out your blog too. I'll tell my son you say HI.
