Good morning Connie 18

When I started Sinemet 3 years ago till now i have had Dystonia as well as Dyskinesiea. My Dtstonia can be and is not so much painful but intense. Sometimes my entire body will stiffen. At times i will be flat on my back stiff as a board all muscles pulling for at least 1 minute feels like 5 and i can not breath. I come out gasping for air.

sinemet relieves my dystonia. i will get dystonia in my feet and toes at night, and take half a dose of sinemet, which relaxes my feet, and im able to get back to sleep.
