Hello @laurievr and welcome to Mayo Connect. I can understand your confusion. Often neurological problems have similar symptoms so it can be difficult to come up with a diagnosis. Regarding taking Sinemet, I can only speak from my personal experience that Sinemet made a difference for me right away. My symptoms were gait disturbances, foot dragging and other movement problems.

What type of symptoms are you having? How long have you been taking Sinemet?

Thank you for your reply. I am just starting Sinemet, taking it for the past week and introducing it slowly. I have very light symptoms that were seen by the doctor at Mayo. But my legs are the worst, with weakness, stiffness, and barely being able to move if I walk too far. My local neurologist has seen me and prescibed the Sinemet.
