Barbara: Thank you for the information. It does sound like a good deal. So far, I have had no problems with what I'm eating....only that my intake of calories exceeds my output. My husband is now doing more of the cooking. He is a shift worker on 12-hour shifts so he's at home more days than I am. My 15 year old daughter is sure food is not edible if it didn't come from a fast-food outlet. The shake does sound like a good idea especially at lunch time. I will phone the number you gave and read all about it. As I said in a previous message, I have just recently started taking Sinemet. After having problems with it at first, my system seems to have adjusted and WOW, what a difference. My typing speed is back to what it was years ago...may not sound like earth-shattering news but I'm a secretary and, although I've had no complaints about my work, being able to get through it faster FEELS GOOD. Also, I THINK I got a compliment...the parking attendant gave me a hard time about using the disabled parking even though I have the proper sticker on my car. I was annoyed at first and then I thought that was OK! I work in a medical centre where everything is a long walk from everything else. The halls seem to have grown shorter. The only problem I have had, other than the reaction at first, is that I fall asleep after dinner and then don't sleep well at night. I'm not sure if that is related to the Sinemet or not. After the violent death of my friend in January, I had a lot of trouble sleeping and the family dr. prescribed a mild sleeping pill. I still take them occasionally but don't like the idea of becoming addicted to something like that. The only other thing that helps is camomille tea. I intend to try going for a walk after dinner (if I can stay awake long enough) but if it's not snowing out, it's freezing rain. I'm ready for spring...we had snow all day and now we're having the freezing rain. For those listmembers from places with more sensible weather, my apologies and envy. March must be THE month for Canadians to complain about the weather.
