Skin pigmentation changes

[Pelley]

Ive been taking Sinimet for over 11 years in mostly increasing increments and am wondering if that alone could be the cause of me being accused of "tanning" OMG by three people in unrelated circumstances the past few weeks. Like tanning would help make a 6 decade old PD ridden carcass look any better!

Anybody else chime in on this? I hate to sound like some others that try to blame anything / everything on their PD. Thinking a blood test is in order.... I'm not taking ANY supplements either! I haven't changed my diet or noticed any differences.

I have changes in my skin color on my arms and lower legs. Very ugly and getting darker. I am told that it a told it a reaction to meds.

[Pelley in reply to 1182]

By whom? Your neuro told you...or?

Went to a dermatologist today. She thinks that it is a vein problem. Going to my doc to find out if it is vein leakage or blood pressure.
