Return-path: <[log in to unmask]> From: [log in to unmask] Full-name: TFPSteed Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 13:26:57 EDT Subject: walker To: [log in to unmask] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 107 THANX SO MUCH FOR ADVICE ON PURCHASE/RENT/USE OF WALKER. I was diagnosed w/pd in '95 at age 54 and before then my blood pressure was always a little high. once on sinemet up went my sugar, DOWN my bp. my biggest complaint on meds (sinemet, + tried most others) has always been weakness/dizziness. i've just figured out my big drops when standing and suspecct i have s-d and am waiting to see m.d. monday. ?? = is the HYPOTENSION from the sinemet? if i could get off it, would the low bp resolve itself? i get some relief from sine but not a lot and not reliable. however, the first minute i feel bad when a guest around, i reach for a dose of sinemet. meanwhile a substitute on-call m.d. suggested increasing every other dose of sin w/1/2 tab but i'm afraid my bp will go lower still. i promise i'm not going to change anything w/o see my own dr. monday, but am curious if anyone has had experience to share.
