ducky 17 post s 8-Sep-2006 1:47 PM	Hi jma I heard that the odd leg sensations that we both are experiencing is called RLS (restless leg syndrome) which is one of several secondary PD symptoms. I don't know how true is this but.....

Once I was dx with PD, I started sinemet cr and the sensations are mostly under control. I still get those occasional jolts of electricity, but I can sleep now without my leg dancing all over the bed. ---------- Penny

ducky 26 post s 25-Sep-2006 6:23 PM	Janie, Funny that my neurologist said that some PWP have experienced odd sensations on legs. So, did my massage therapist as she has PD patients who complain about these symptoms.

janie 2 post s 26-Sep-2006 7:22 PM	funny how so many PWP seem to be having odd sensations in their legs. I saw a movement disorders specialist today for a 2nd opinion. She also said this was a separate issue and not related to PD. She said it was probably peripheral neuropathy.
ducky 28 post s 27-Sep-2006 3:18 AM	FYI: I read up on what the symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) are: • A tingling sensation in the toes or in the balls of the feet that eventually spreads up the legs toward the trunk. Less commonly, the sensation may begin in the hands and spread up the arms. • Numbness in the hands and feet that spreads up the arms and legs. • Weakness or heaviness in muscles throughout the body. This may be accompanied by cramping, especially in the feet, legs, and hands. • Sensitive skin that may be painful to the touch. Prickling, burning, tingling, or sharp stabbing sensations may occur spontaneously and usually worsen at night. • A foot-drop walking gait and/or problems with balance or coordination. It seems to me that the last symptom is one of the primary symptoms of PD. I could be wrong.
love 1 post 26-Sep-2008 2:37 PM	I read on the messages board from one of the members who took PD for there legg sensations, and that it help what is PD? I have been having these sensations for 15 years or more, there in my arms as well as feet, requiped work for a hour then it stops. I also have a crackling noise in my brain as well as pulsating sensation in all my arteries, so I have to take neurotin, melatonin, homeopaths, or even a tranqualizer to sleep at night. So if anyone has some suggestion, how I can at least alleviate the legg and arm sensation please email me at specialone.4590@yahoo.com Until these new test results come back from the neurologist. How do I find a movement specialist.

I have always assumed it was part of this lovely disease process. It has gotten more intense over the last few years, almost intolerable. It always occurs when my dopamine level is low, and is relieved when I take my scheduled sinemet dose, every 3-4 hours. If I sleep through the night, it is quite severe in the morning. Mirapex made it worse, and I can't tolerate requip. I take azilect & comtan in addition to the sinemet. Ice helps, but that is not practical every 3-4 hours.
