Ivan, Thanks so much for your suggestion. I have never combined regular and CR Sinemet. Both make my severe feet/toes/ankle dystonia worse. Think I will wait til I see Dr. Waltz on Apr 16. If I am NOT a candidate for DBS, it sounds worth a try - I think the Sinemet woulld help my stiffness if I could get rid of dystonia and tremor. There was a young 18 yr old man here in Murrieta with dystonia so severe (no PD) that he was in fetal position. I read that DBS made him "normal'.and he was able to graduate with his high school class. Thanks, again, Rayilyn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
