Dear Kathrynne, Thanks for your speedy reply.As promised I forward details of my drugs and diet plan.

I have read much about the effect of food stuffs and am still trying to get a satisfactory regime.The greatest problem with any diet is the need for self discipline and the availability of suitable foods when travelling or visiting.So this is what I try to do.- I eat as lightly as is possible at Breakfast and Lunch.I avoid almost entirely protein.I also do not eat Dairy products where possible. Sample breakfast-Porridge made with water and Honey or All Bran with Apple Juice.A slice of bread with soya butter. Sample Lunch -Pasta and a sauce ,of Veg and Toms. or aSoup with Veg and Pasta.Fruit and maybe a digestive biscuit. I spoil myself at night and eat Protein,Desserts.as if normal. All this generally works quite well,but does depend on a fairly settled regime and exercise. It is vital that I do not become constipated hence the All Bran which is good for me. I do not have a very settled routine as I like to travel and I have lots of visitors to enjoy my life here in France. My worst time for off periods is usually in the late afternoon and I am now finding it increasingly harder to do much physical effort.I have to rest more often or I come to a full stop. My symptoms are- Initiating and sustaining movements.Cramping in the thighs.General tensing of body.Sleeplessness.. Signal of loss of effectiveness of medication- Toes curl and cramp. More to follow if you can bear it, Syd Adams, [log in to unmask]
