I have a blood test due for my GCA and wondered if I should add anything else for my Parkinson's medication? I have been on increasing doses of Sinemet 12.5/50 for three months. I am currently on 2 three times daily.

Dear Yoga for PD,

I have been on sinemet for my PD for 10 years plus and have never been asked or required to do blood testing.

Non required. Just have regular (say 6 months) appointments with an appropriately trained medic to discuss any new or worsening symptoms.
