Default Hi. Very Scared New Member

Hi,
I was having trouble with leg and calf stiffness and some leg weakness. The Dr did some rule out tests and when it was through he told me that it was his gut feeling that I had Parkinson's.

He put me on Carbidopa/ Levodopa 25/100 2 2 times a day. He never told me anything about side effects so I looked them up myself. It says that 80% of the people that take this medication who take the medication experience Chorea movement in the face and and limbs after 1 year. Is this true. There were many other disturbing side effects also. After reading all the side effects, I rather have weak legs than the nightmare effects that I read.
