Yes Barbara, what about those drug holidays? (or daze)  My mom was just wonderin
 g if that was a part of her problems now. Or, is it because she is no longer
doing the drug holidays?  It was the way things were done when she was living
in Fla. a few years ago, now she's a snow-bird, and had drs. in NH and Fla., but
none have suggested the drug holiday.  Happy to report, she is getting in to see
a specialist in Boston this month.  There are too many drs. who don't know
anything about PD, nor do they have the time to find out.  One neurologist
told my mom to "try different doses of sinamet and see how you feel". Well, that
sounds fine under normal situations, but my mom can't keep her meds. straight
now, nevermind experimentation.  She is also unable to keep a journal or other
ongoing record of her experiments or feelings/symptoms.
Best wishes to you,
Lynn Lowe
