Hi all: This is my first posting since joining the list a week or so ago. I'm writing on behalf of my Mom and Dad who struggle mightily to deal with my Mom's PD. She's in her 9th year and is not doing well in dealing with her meds and in coordinating with her PD doc about whether her meds regiment needs to be adjusted. In particular, she has suffered through tremendously violent bouts of dyskenesia (lying flat on the living room floor and shaking uncontrollably) as well as incidents where her PD seems to shift all the way to other side of the spectrum to where she is virtually frozen. My folks' big question is this: Has anyone dealt wih the liquid sinemet? If so, how did it work? Particular problems with it? Suggestions on using it? Also: Has anyone developed a good set of tools for a PD care-giver to use to help the PD person accurately keep track of when meds were taken in order to best report same to docs to see if changes need to be made? Problem here is that Mom doesn't always say something when she takes meds so Dad has had a real hard time logging meds. Thanks in advance for your suggestions on this.
