Good Morning,
Many of us have heard the story about the mother who researched the condition that caused her son to be confined to a wheel chair. She found a condition on the internet DRD Dopa Responsive Dystonia and she found a doctor who checked him out and was given Sinemet which restored his leg muscles where he was able to walk. She had her son to many doctors who couldn't help him. Has any one tried this (Sinemet) for muscle pain and weakness?

We saw the story the other night. Very interesting. Can't help you as far as information on Sinemet for muscle pain or weakness. I did find it is used for Parkinson's Disease or Parkinson-like effects (stiffness, etc.) and of course for DRD which usually starts in childhood.

Kitt,
I found a great amount of information here on the Parkinson forum. Thanks for heads up.
