Re: SINEMET *CR*

[Elizabeth Southwood <Sackvill@xxxxxxx>]

When I was first put on sinemet, it was 3 25/100 a day and I was nauseated
and had dyskinesia, so I cut it way back until I felt okay, which for 6 years
was 1/4  25/100 3x a day and for several months now has been 1/3 sinemet
25/100 3x a day.  Very occasionally, say once every 4-6 months, I take a
little more at my own discretion at my doctor's suggestion if I have a
stressful time coming up - a party or something.  I also take 2 eldepryls a
day.  Once in a while I feel a little nauseated after the morning dose and
then I eat some crystallized ginger (somebody on this listserv suggested
ginger some time ago and whether it's real or placebo, it seems to help, or
maybe I just love eating sweets at breakfast).

 Happy New Year!!!

Nobody knows it's '97
on this whirling world, up in heaven,
it's only on this earth the New Year
is a big deal, you have to be here.
In heaven, they've arrived, they are there,
about the New Year they do not care.
Heaven's surely our paradigm.
We all hope to be let in sometime.
Time is endless, also brief, timeless.
But we are aware, and try to compress
rapidly speeding time which goes faster,
wear watches to avoid disaster,
like not sharing a kiss on the chime
of midnight, drinking a toast old-time.
While they float about in heavenly bliss,
down here on earth, we toast and we kiss,
with evident joy proclaim a New Year.
Actually, I'm glad to still be here,
though the folks in heaven, it is clear,
share in the bliss of a kiss all year.

Best, Liz S.
