Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 Hi Bill, No, Jeff's not on Sinemet. Isn't that for Parkinson's patients? Up until recently most of his symptoms have been " internal " . He's had sporadic twitching and night thrashing, but nothing like the constant rapid rocking of his feet. Should he try Sinemet? From what I've read, MSA patients have poor response to Sinemet. Thanks, FROM: Message: 9 Date: Sun, 07 Apr 2002 23:37:32 -0400 Subject: Re: Restless Legs , Yes, that is often a problem with MSA. Is he taking a lot of Sinemet? Take care, Bill Werre ---------------------------------- Maciejewski wrote: > I have been noticing lately that Jeff has " unconscious " restlessness in his > legs when he's in a reclining position.
