My wife Carol, 59 diag 10+ yrs, fell about 2 mo. ago. They have been treating her sore shoulder with pain pills and PT for over a mo. It has helped some, but the ortho surg.,the PT, and her neuro agree > sorry to hear about carol falling. can listen, but may not be much help. [19:45] <pm> that it is most llikely time for surgery. (torn mussle or rotator cuff damage?? She is scheduled to have a MRI on the shoulder at 7 am on Tues. This is a time that Carol is OFF. I can get her to the MRI but she is trying to figure how she can be still - tremor free for 45 min. Her neuro says take her Permax, but no Sinemet untill after. Have any of you had an MRI and faced the tremor prob? Carol has had two mri's in the past, but that was before the tremors were so bad. Then within a few weeks we will need the cautions that I have seen about handling the anestesia and other associated hospital problems. > have not had an MRI. how long does her med last? does permax stop tremor? can she time it well enough to go on just prior to MRI? [19:54] <pm> Carol is on Permax , reg Sin..,sin CR and liquid Sin..I think the last 1 t0 2 hours if boosted with liq "shots" > how long does it take the permax to kick in after she take it? [19:56] <pm> It takes her about 50 to 90 min to be able to get up after taking her morning meds and she can shake A LOT during this time [20:01] <pm> about 45 min for mri > have you sent query to the mailing list? [20:05] <pm> not yet - this is the first chance I 'e had to get to the puters since we saw the surgeon @ 4 on Tues > john pops in around 8:30...he would have better answers [20:06] <pm> Do you suggest the main list of the Caregiver's list or both??? > would try both > will she be awake during MRI [20:07] <pm> Yes to awake > am recording :) [20:08] <pm> Thanks > is it possible for carol to be transported proir to meds taking effect? [20:12] <pm> let's try someting..... Can you email it to [log in to unmask] > sure, one sec [20:13] <pm> Yes my son is local and can help me get her in our Aerostar The above has been edited. Carol's input Her Meds 6:45 2 Permax .25 mg & 1 Sin 25/100 then @8:15 1/2 Per. and 1/2 Sin 25/100 Repaet every 2 1/2 hours & as needed "liq. Sine. Cocktail" (2 Sin and 2 Vit C in water) then before bed Sin CR any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Phil [log in to unmask]
