Hi - I'm new to the site. My wife has had PD since before she was diagnosed in 1995. We just didn't recognize the symptoms at that time. She is now 72. She is on quite a few medications and has a variety of symptoms.
I'm hoping this thread will attract other PD patients and care-givers so we can share our experiences with the medications, side effects, and the symptoms of the disease.
My wife (aka Lainee) takes Sinemet, Amantadine, Comtan, Mirapex, Sinemet ER, Parcopa (sublingual), and Apokyn. She is being evaluated for DBS surgery. She gets bad dizzy spells, with headaches and hot/cold flashes. her blood pressure is erratic fluctuating from very low (95/50) to very high (205/110).
I was wondering if anyone else was suffering these kind of symptoms? Thanks. - Rich
