You may want to ask your doctor about Amantadine. My wife takes this and it controls her dyskensia about 80% of the time. It does have its side effects.

She will only email him in the event that there has been a change in her condition, usually as a result of the medication she takes.

Hi Geraldine: When I visit my wife’s neurologist with her I make sure we have a short diary of any changes in her condition. It is essential that you are pro-active. If you don’t inform the neurologist of any changes, he or she does not know and consequently will not be adjusting medications or suggesting various treatments. If possible, bring along someone who is in frequent contact with you and who can notice any changes. Hope this helps.
