I need help finding an answer


My husband is the PWP and his doctor is adjusting his medicine every to weeks
for six weeks so that he can put him on a continued release sinemet.  He is
upping his Mirapex and lowering his Sinemet so that he can add CR sinemet at
bedtime.  Gordie runs out of medicine by nighttime so he has a lot of
difficulty in bed.  Since he goes to bed early and I am a night owl, we use a
baby monitor for him to call me.  He has difficulty getting up to use the
bathroom, turning over, etc -- so he is often at my mercy in bed.  I do not
mind but sometimes I have to not be home because I am in the hospital with my
heart problem.  Then he has to lay their until he can get himself moving.
   With the medicine adjustment, we have noticed a lot of freezing.  I cannot
remember if the freezing shows too much or not enough medicine.  I was going
to the archives and couldn't remember how to do that either.  Can someone
help me?  If you think it is redundant to discuss this on the list, please
email me personally.  Thank you.
