after a very brief assessment, my partner was diagnosed with Parkinsons and prescribed Ropinerol, a dopamine agonist. they previously had a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) . For various reasons, I am more convinced that her condition is a continuation of CFS, however all of her Parkinsons 'symptoms' have disappeared very quickly with this medication. 1st question, would Ropinerol, whilst not normally prescribed for CFS, actually improve pre existing CFS? 2nd question, could the medication be having a placebo effect?
