Friends--this is for a dear friend in our support group who has no computer access. He uses liquid sinemet, and finds that he always has trouble around mealtimes. He takes liquid sinemet 20 min. before each meal, and Sinemet CR just as he starts to eat, but always has much very painful stiffness nonetheless. He wondered if any of you who also use the liquid form have a similar experience, or suggestions how to deal with it? He has lost a lot of weight,due in par t to the mealtime discomfort. (Note to Alan Bonander--he MUCH appreciated your helpful letter, with ideas he can use---thanks!) CAmilla Flintermann,CG for Peter,76/6+, Oxford,OH
