This past Thursday was my visit at Dr Jog's office. I mentioned that the Sinemet isn't lasting long enough or kicking in fast enough. We're adding Pramipexole (aka Mirapex). I haven't started it yet. Probably the most concerning side effect is drowsiness - especially while driving.
My Sinemet schedule is; 1.5 at 4:30, 6:35, 9:10, 11:45, 14:20, and 16:55.
I hope to participate in a study that will try to more objectively evaluate symptom levels using motion capture. There is an article on the hospital website.
We went on a Caribbean cruise, which was very nice, and I did 'try' to do some exercise. When we got back winter and that constant feeling of having a cold coming on was my excuse. I need to get back on the exercise bike. If I can force myself to get up in the morning, maybe I can delay adding the Mirapex to the medication mix.
