Sorry to hear that. Mind if I ask how long you have been having trouble? Have you had Deep Brain Stimulation surgery?

Yes, I did have the Deep Brain Stimulation surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota in 2008. I take 1 carbidopa-levodopa every 4 hours. When I had the implant put in they told me that it was only to stop my dyskinesia back then. My tremors are ONLY in my legs and they had no way to pinpoint where the tremors were coming from but I was very pleased that it DID stop my dyskinesia. Now 18 years later it really doesn't stop my dyskinesia and my neurologist said that my Parkinson's is progressing and could do nothing for my issues to date.
