Is efficiency of meds affected by weather?
I already take
Stalevo
and Requip daily and Sinemet CR at night I noticed my meds worked really well while on holiday in the Canaries earler in the year when my tremor was hardly noticeable. Maybe I should move there!

Help! - I need sleep
I was taking
Stalevo
100 4 times a day and Requip XL 8mg once a day but was recently given Sinemet Plus 25mg in addition. My sleep pattern was at the most 2 hours after going to bed and then usually a further, if lucky, 2 hours later. No sleep during the day.

Is stalevo safe??
Is
Stalevo
safe ? USA has questioned
stalevo
as the numbers rise with all kinds of problems, from heart problems to cancer problems, It is under investigation for over 2 years, why rush ? If it was a car, you would get a better service.

Sleep Patterns
I used to take a
Stalevo
on waking, but my Consultant has told me to discontinue this and increased my dosage of Requip XL, which seems to have made things worse. Knitting seems to stop my tremor, but does not help me to sleep.

Should I have DBS or not?
I have the shakes quite bad AT TIMES, not all the time, I take only about 1/3 of the total amount of
Stalevo
and Requip. Because of the waiting time I have begun to worry - do I really need DBS, the thought of someone drilling inside my head, complications etc.

I find I can control my tremor
Sometimes
Stalevo
and Requip XL together and sometimes at different times. Not a lot of success so far. However, I have found that if I can completely relax and concentrate, I am able to stop my tremors. Although they start again if my situation alters.

Does anyone else shout out in their sleep?
I am on
Stalevo
and Requip XL. On the other hand, it could be down to Parkinsons messing with my sleep pattern. It messes with almost everything else!!

'wearing off' and meds
I take
Stalevo
and Requip XL. I have been rereading answers to this question which was posed recently. My 'wearing off' takes a slightly different form. I find that for a period of days I get very little relief from my tablets.

Do our bodies get used to our meds?
I was wondering if I am getting used to taking the same meds -
Stalevo
and Requip XL, as I have been taking these for about 3 years. It could be that these need increasing, or that my condition is progressing, although my physiotherapist said that I am stable at the moment.

I take 6mg of Requip XL daily
To be honest, I am not sure that it helps my
Stalevo
to last longer at all. Does anyone else feel this to be the case? If you haven't guessed already, I have one of my six monthly appointments coming up at the beginning of May. Of course, it could be rescheduled!

Is anyone developing small wart like nodules on their skin?
I am on
Stalevo
and RequipXL and wonder if either of these meds could be causing the problem. I would be grateful for comments from anyone having a similar reaction before I see my GP. If there is a link to my meds I will ask when I have a Parkinsons referral in May.
