Thanks Rob, I've written that down & will try it with Rich. Will try anything to help get rid of those terrible cramps! The doctor says it's the Sinemet so what can you do!? He can't take any of those "other" drugs, goes into orbit, into his own little world, but he's been on Sinemet for 11 years now & they say that's good!
