INFORMATION FOR PATRICK=92S SURVEY Name:Olive Naylor e-Mail:([log in to unmask]) Age:73 Weight:104 Sex:Female Years Parkinsonian:19 Years Medication:19 Approximately at Hoehn and Yahr stage 4. (but not quite) Medical Indications: 1.parkinsonism 2.Osteoporosis =09 Medications: The following pill regime is a basic one that gives reasonably consistent results day after day. Having=20 achieved some consistency , the effect of future changes can determined with a fair degree of accuracy. Things have been set out differently than in Patrick's original proposal because timing is everything=20 and the same quantities at different times would give different results. The whole philosophy behind this regime is that less is best, but you have to make the less work efficiently. (When some in the USA see the relatively small quantity of drugs used, they may think that we have cut=20 back to save money. Such is not the case because in Ontario seniors have been getting their prescription=20 drugs free. ) 8.30 A. M. 1 Sinemet CR, =BC Deprenyl, Vit C 10.00 A. M. 1/2 Regular Sinemet 12.30 P.
