Rayilyn. Yes, I did receive your e-mails. I discovered that by combining two types of Sinemet, I do the best. I start by taking 1/2 of a "regular" (yellow) Sinemet 25/100 tablet, for a quick , but short-lasting response . My toes UNcurl, and my stiffness goes away. By adding a whole Sinemet CR to the half-tablet of regular SInemet, I get more "on" time , lengthening my on-periods significantly. I am careful to have low protein, high fiber meals, or snacks, timed to start 20 to 30 minutes after medications. I take meds every 3 hours or so. I am active, and need high-carbohydrate intake. Yet, I am ingood shape, about 5' 10 1/2" , 158 lbs. Tasmar lengthened the on-periods even more. I never had any trouble with SGOT or SGBT enzymes. I believe that the Tasmar danger is hype, blown way out of proportion by competing pharmaceutical companies. So blood tests are not needed except maybe once a year. Sometimes, when I am well rested, andif I time things just right, I have only slight loss of function in my hands during off-periods. I do have to rest when each off-period starts, however, or I would get worn out. I am vulnerable to mood swings and exhaustion and feeling low during the off-times, so I am careful to try to smile and to rest, with low expectations during those times. And this is my 16h year of having a PWP's life -- not bad, eh?? Beautiful morning . My Concord grapes are dark violet already, and heavy on the vines this year. It is getting close to harvesting time. Shoud be an adventure!
