Bettyjo, WHat a relief to read your letter. I thought i was the only pwp gaining weight - typically one is supposed to lose (!) but I have gone from 94 lbs (at diagnosis about 20 years ago) to 165, back down to 115, and now am hovering at 150lbs - which i find very uncomfortable, but cant manage to reduce. I also have very sensitive reactions ro protein, and find that the fattier the source of that protein is, the more it affects me. Current medications include sinemet, eldepryl, amantadine for pd, propanalol for migraine and celebrex for arthritis. And then the dreams - they were much more vivd while i was on mirapex (up till about 15 months ago) but, according to my significant other, i still am very vocal. And i dont talk only in English - i deliver strong political discourses in Afrikaans, long, fluent speeches in Hebrew, and speak in several different voices in english. According to the same source, my speech is much clearer and more distinct than when i am awake. Apparently i also laugh hysterically. Naturally , i have no memory of this when i awake except a vague feeling that i was dreaming. hilary blue (53,24,33) PS i lived in israel from 1976 through 1984 Bettyjo Blauner wrote: > > Beef also bothers me more than fish, chicken, eggs or cheese.I can't eat > beef, lamb or veal until dinner.
