don't know anyone else except my mother and she has such mild occurences that no

meds are needed.Then there is me - It all started a few years ago with some

symptoms that I thought " were in my mind " but then became severe and tormenting.

My doctor was unfamiliar with my symptoms so I really felt like a looney tunes ,

> a sleep deprived, on my feet all the time, suicidal looney tunes at that !!

Since I thought I had some mystery syndrome or was just nuts with my " legs are

driving me to distraction " , it was only after much suffering that I finally went

to a neurologist. He,thankfully, recognized my complaints and that was the start

of some blessed relief! I took Sinemet with it's severe nausea until

augmentation took over then was switched to Neurontin, effectively, for quite

some time. Now it is Mirapex and Neurontin. Again,Iam beginning to have

break-through symptoms ! comments?? Iam happy to have found you. Edie 53
