Sorry for the delay in answering. Am forwarding what I tried to send 11/3/95. Looks like I used wrong address. Whaaaaaaaaat? One more time! If at first you don't succeed...etc. Clara Nistler ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 3 Nov 1995 05:04:20 -0800 (PST) From: C. Louise <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Attn: David B. & Joyce T. Hello to David, Joyce, and all, Twas a pleasure hearing from you. David... Gene also wrestles with p.m. sleep deprivation from time to time. When he first retired, he fell into the habit of taking a nap each day. His physician suggested he not nap (made sense). He used to get up...fix a cup of hot chocolate and read. Lately, since he quit taking a nap, he says he gets up...goes to the bathroom..."thinks" about the hot chocolate and just goes back to bed...eventually to sleep. Although, I remind him from time to time, (isn't that what a wife is for though...;-) there are nights the problem is mine as well. Usually due to whatever is happening in my life at the time. Gene takes his last sinemet around 6 p.m. In the morning, he is very sluggish. Currently, he's contemplating taking a pill whenever he does wake up in the early a.m. hours to try to alleviate the definite slowness of movement he experiences when he does get up for the day. Joyce...Gene experiences foot curling in the a.m. when he wakes up. Currently, he uses time released sinement. His doctor did suggest he could also use the regular Sinemet for a quicker pick-me-up. So far, he hasn't followed up on the suggestion. However, glad to hear the OJ cocktail is working for you. Definitely, will keep the idea in our file of resources to comtemplate using. Cheerio to you both of you and to the rest of the gang. Clara and Gene Nistler [log in to unmask]
