( You can probably find the correct info in the archives. It worked for me, got rid of the cramps within about a week. My Dr. ( Abraham Lieberman) <BR>said I didn't need to take Vitamin E and he changed my schedule of one 50/200 Sinemet CR twice a day, to 1/2 Tab 4 times a day. I don't know which worked but I stopped the Vitamin E and I haven't had a problem with cramps since. <BR>Good Luck, hope this helps you find the answer for you. </BODY> </HTML> ------------7B9F2EB3417F0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Bob Chapman Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="nsmailKK.TMP" Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="nsmailKK.TMP" BEGIN:VCARD FN:Bob Chapman N:Chapman;Bob EMAIL;INTERNET:chapman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx NOTE:Sun Lakes, AZ X-MOZILLA-HTML:T END:VCARD ------------7B9F2EB3417F0--
