Dyskinesia
I am 71 years old, been diagnosed 5 1/2 years Started out on Azilect and Requip. Never really felt great on this but my neurologist wanted to keep me on the least amount of medication for as long as possible. In Jan 2013 I felt terrible so he put me on Carbidopa Levadopa 25/100 three times a day I did

Liquid Sinemet
My doctor prescribed me to take Sinemet and Comtan every 2 hours, but I am afraid to have dyskinesia because it just sinemet over 13 pills + sinemet ER at night. I already have dyskinesia, but not all the time. I understand that to take every 2 hours sinemet it no time to have a meal. Has anybody tried

Diagnosed with fibro a few years ago, have seen a rheumatologist once and feel very unsupported however now have a gp that seems to listen but admits he is not a specialist in pain management. Everything on

ENTACAPONE. ORAL. 200 MG
Common name Comtan. This is a COMT inhibitor drug. Dose anyone have an opinion or experience on this drug. I have just been given a scrip for it. I plan on starting it with my C/L next week.

Comtan increasing off times
Just started taking Comtan (along with usual sinemet) and find my off-times are drastically increased so that there's very little on-time. Didn't expect Comtan to have the opposite effect of what it's supposed to do. Also more foot dystonia (cramping) forcing me to walk on the outside edge--OUCH. And

Adding meds
I've had PD for almost 9 years. I've had nothing but Carbidopa/Levodopa 25/100,starting low with 1 1/2 tabs 3 times /daily. Now, 9 years later, I'm taking 2 tabs 5 times/daily. This doesn't cover me through the night, so, my doc ordered C/P 6 times/daily. He also ordered Comtan (entacapone) 1 tab 6 times

Severe anemia
Since diagnosis at the beginning of May I have completed three rounds of FCR treatments. The first cycle went well and before second cycle my blood counts were close to normal (low lymphs). After second cycle everything started to go down and my third round was put off for two weeks while my counts improved

Fibromyalgia, meds and sweating
Hi all, just wondered if anyone else pours sweat with meds for fm. I was recently put on 30mg duloxetine (always think im talking about paint) then upped to 60mg and the sweating was unbelievable. At night I had to put a cold wet facecloth on my head to cool down. Sweats are always from shoulders up

Cervical spondylosis
I was diagnosed with CS December 2011, just woke up one morning with a sore neck, I'd say I've tried majority of painkillers, none worked, I'm now taking MST continus, prolonged released morphine tablets 50mg twice a day, they ease the neck pain but do nothing for shoulders, arms, hands, fingers, legs

Poor sleep, horrible headaches, muscle cramping in legs
If anyone has any suggestions as to what might help with making me sleep at night, I will be forever grateful. I have been having problems for quite a long time, but it has gotten to the point where I have at least 1 or 2 nights a week that I don't sleep at all. I will be awake for almost 24 hours and
