    Currently on Sinimet and exercising regularly. One thing that hasn’t gone away is the non-swinging of my left arm. I don’t know if I need to increase the dosage or some sort of exercise. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I found it wasn’t more Sinemet I needed. It was a conscious effort to swing my arm. Join an exercise class if you haven’t already. The instructor will notice it and remind you to swing your arm!

    I had read about someone who was taking mannitol and started swinging their arms again so I tried it and it did the same for me with an added bonus of helping my constipation.

    I would suggest physical therapy specifically for Parkinson’s.

    I found it incredibly effective for moving the whole body.
