nightmare
 

I am conserned that I have been misdiagnosed with parkinsons disease.
All my dr.s have agreed that I was an unusual ,early or light case if at all.I have been experiencing severe pain that no one thinks is parkinsons a symptom. But I do have severe ostio arthritus in my back. I seem to be on my own trying to identify symptoms that may be from the sinnement
I have taken for years. I recently cut back on the sinnement ( another story )
and am feeling generally feeling better...stomach, sleeping better, less pain
how do I safely get off the P D meds ? I understand that withdrawal can be a huge problem.
Any information would be very much appreciated.

Hi Becky and welcome to NeuroTalk. Here is the link to our Parkinsons Forum..http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum34.html

You'll find lots of helpful information there...I'm glad you've joined us. :)

Nice to meet you!!
 

Becky,

Happy to see you have come to be with us. As you can tell there are great and caring friends here to assist you, just let us know if we can be of any help. Our shoulders are here for support in many ways.

Again welcome, looking forward to seeing you around. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Darlene :hug:

Glad you're here,
 

hope you've checked out the link Alfee gave you. Hang out, get to know the folks, ask questions--you certainly have a plateful of concerns. :(

This is a good place to be when you're feeling this way. It's safe to just be honest & let it all come out, questions, fears, whatever. I'm pretty new here myself, but I've gotten the definite feeling that they've "been there, done that, bought the tee shirt." So much experience, so much generosity of spirit.

If you are suffering from Sinemet side-effects, I really empathize with you. Statin S-Es have sabotaged my quality-of-life so much that some days I consider quitting them altogether. I hope you can find answers soon. :hug:
