At Mayo, along with other tests, the EMG proved I do not have MG. The main doctor I saw could see small movements I didn't know I had, such as pill-rolling, a slight tremor in my head, and not swaying my left arm when I walked. My legs are a big issue, getting stiff if I walk too much or pressure is put on them. I am now taking Sinemet in the lower dose and will work up to a higher dose each week, as suggested by the doctor. My local neurologist is excellent, but was surprised by the PD diagnosis. He has prescribed the Sinemet.

I'm glad to hear that you have a correct diagnosis now, @laurievr.

I would like to hear how you are doing as you being to treat the PD. Will you continue to post with updates as you increase the Sinemet dose?
