Hello Members of Parkinsn List, I'm Ed Robinson, a new subscriber to this list. I am so glad I found you! My mother, 80 yrs old is a parkinson's patient. We live in a small rural Georgia town which until recently had no nuerologist. Therefore my mothers condition was not properly diagnosed for several years after onset. She suffers from a cramped and twisted foot, tremors of the left hand and arm, facial grimaces, slow walk. She is now taking Sinemet CR 50/200 - 1/2 tablet each at breakfast, lunch, dinner. Vitamin "E" 400 units 2 per day. Enderal 3 per day. Zoloft 50mg per day. The medicine is hard to regulate. It appears that somtime she gets too much medicine; sometimes too little. My wife and I are her sole caregivers so we are very interested in what we can learn and what we may share on Parkinsn List. _________ Ed Robinson Coord./Environmental Health Campus Box 031 Georgia College & Occupational Safety Milledgeville, GA 31061 [log in to unmask] VOICE: (912) 454-0801 FAX: (912) 453-1931
