Re: Something is wrong!!

[Ray Strand <strandra@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

you need to get this checked out.

pd does cause problems with color contrast perception.

when i first experienced sinemet
i suddenly had a fresh view of the textures and color in the carpeting
as an artist thus has been upsetting
i love the use of color

sometimes -- when first waking up,
i open my eyes and see a strobe effect
my sight dims and brightens very quickly -- oscillating
and then it is gone

i've asked every doctor i've ever seen
and they don't know what i'm talking about

i hope you are o.k.
let us know if you find anything out.
