Thats great you had such a good experience with excess hydration. We find also that water through the day is very important just for general function. I find Quinine Sulfate is really good for night time leg cramps plus taking of CAL/Mag. supplement. So dont apologize for bringing ;up or stop thinking about things that work even if they only work for you. The doctors dont know all and quite often are only guessing or practicing their way through treatments involving PD.

I had not seen him look so good in at least five or six years. It was like a miracle. I know when he drinks several large glasses of water when rigid, it helps tremendously. I would love to see how he would respond with an IV again, just to see if it was a fluke. It was like a miracle, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
