Re: Sinemet /IvanfromRay, George adds

[George Docken <GeorgeDocken@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ray,
        My current medication is 50/200ER Carbidopa/Levodopa with Comtan
four times a day at approximately four hour intervals.  (7:AM,  11:AM,
3:PM,   7:PM.)  My Neuro suggested I add half of a 25/100 Carbi/Levo
immediate release to help ramp up my first dose of the day, if needed.
-Geo.

Ivan,
Thanks so much for your suggestion.
I have never combined regular and CR Sinemet.  Both make my severe
feet/toes/ankle dystonia worse.

Think I will wait til I see  Dr. Waltz on Apr 16.  If I am NOT a candidate
for DBS, it sounds worth a try - I think the  Sinemet woulld help my
stiffness if I could get rid of  dystonia and tremor.

There was a young 18 yr old man here in Murrieta with dystonia so severe
(no
PD) that he was in fetal position.  I read that DBS made him "normal'.and
he
was able to graduate with his high school class.

Thanks, again, Rayilyn
