Brian: Here's my survey response: Diagnosed: 11 years First symptoms: 12 yesrs Inital symptoms: Bradykinesia - slow movements Age when diagnosed: 45 I've alsow been keeping track of my response to medications for your study,and I pretty much follow this pattern: I'm okay until I eat. An hour and a half later I'm off for 1 1/2 to about 3 hours. Lately I've had a few times when this hasn't happened and I'm not off at all or for a shorter period of time. I don't know why. It doesn't matter what I eat - sometimes a piece of toast is enough. If I have something important to do or somplace to go, I don't eat, Then the medicines work, but I'm losing too much weight. I'm hoping the patch will be approved soon. It sounds like my best hope. In the meantime, any suggestions would be appreciated. Here are my meds: 1 CR at app. 1 hour intervals for a total of 9. Two 1'2 doses of CR's (25/100's) during the night. 1/2 of a 10/100 first thing in the morning. Two pramipexoles with each meal. 5 baclafen during the night for distonia. Thanks Pat pine`
