Good morning Murray and PIEN, Thanks for explaining, Murray. Actually, I rarely make time to read the newspapers! For news, I read my computer screen in my kitchen, and as part of it, I scan your wonderful "Overnight Wire" news every day, for which I feel very grateful to you. This is much easier for me than holding and folding big, floppy newspapers. I was actually considering whether Janet Reno might be both overmedicated (MIrapex) and simultaneously undermedicated. (Sinemet). Do you know where to find her medical records on the Internet, Murray? I was thinking that the level of Mirapex she's on could be dropping her blood pressure, and causing fainting, or light-headedness. I also was thinking that her strong tremors on stage, the inability to keep her coat on her shoulders, or cover up after her skirt had accidentally hiked up her legs, without help from others, indicate insufficient muscle movement, suggesting more Sinemet is needed to raise the dopamine level in her body. I think that many neurologists are trying Mirapex as a replacement for Sinemet, rather than adjunctively, as a second line of stimulaitng a PWP's dopamine receptors. Perhaps this causes some type of dopamine flooding in Janet Reno. Unfortunately, for many PWP's , women or men, (including myself), even the tiniest amount of Mirapex is too powerful,and has a knock-out effect. This unfortunately may create a danger to those who are on even small amounts.
