Patricia.... Please don't feel you have a "bad attitude" about having PD and being angry that you're forced to play unwilling host to it. To ME, a "bad attitude" would be a passive acceptance of all of the misery the disease heaps on us. I suspect that it's anger that keeps some of us going. It's anger that causes us to get ot there and push for the Udall Bill. It's anger that drives a person with PD to have someone drill a hole in their skull and fry a bit of their brain (ok... so it didn't hurt at all... but nonetheless having a pallidotomy ain't like going to a Sunday school picnic!). Anger causes us to take some really viscious drugs to beat this "thang," and to seek relief, if not a cure, in places we've never even heard of before and often cannot even pronouce. A "good attitude" is NOT accepting this disease and anger IS having a "good attitude" when it comes too Parkinson's Disease!

My neurologist thinks my Sinemet CR may be contributing to my nausea this last week. I've taken less, one-half Sinemet CR, 50/200 at seven a.m. and the other half at12:30. then half at five or six o'clock. I'm still feeling sick and very dizzy/light-headed. Would you recommend a test of even less Sinemet with what you experienced? The Sinemet CR has lessened my tremor and gotten rid of some stiffness but this stomach problem is tough too. I hate this stuff(PD), I know---all I can change is my attitude towards it. Well, I hate it. I'm trying but I seem to have a bad attitude. Thanks, Patricia 59,one year plus [log in to unmask]
