Hi Marvin- your story sounds familiar except that I tried sinemet CR for nights only and it made me wide awake and unable to sleep at all!! I reverted to Sinemet Plus and Tryptizol(one 25mg at night) and everything improved. You must have a very special wife...William and I have been married 23 years and have hardly spent a day apart as he farms and we too our best friends as well as spouses. Have a nice weekend regards Emma >Yep, I'm awake and it's still dark out. >Actually, this is rather obnoxious since I've been working some >strange hours lately. I'm a "Software Developer and Debugger" >and when work heats up I tend to leave my PC alone. >But here I am and there's nothing else to do. The love of my life >fell asleep in the livingroom and I don't want to wake her, So the >TV and such are out of the question. I can not reach the light switch >so that leaves out books. And yes, you can type by the light of your CRT >if you set the colors correctly :) > >I'm logged on to #Parkinsons, but I guess none of the regulars are >awake and bored. That's nice. It means they're asleep or entertained, >that is the assumption I like to make any way. > >I started sinemet cr (25mg) a month or so ago. I'm using it at night only >and it seems to keep the right arm from shaking me awake. Tonight was an >exception. That arm was shaking so hard that the cat just leaned against >my hand and purred. (Guess he had an itch.) > >When I came home yesterday my one and only handed me a paper bag. >Inside was a book (does anyone have a suggestion on how to keep >a book upright without holding onto it and shaking it to pieces?). >Also in the bag was a card. "Marvin, we've been married 18 years, 8 months, >three weeks, 5 hours, and some odd minutes. I haven't regreted a second of it." >I started crying. I've been concerned since we found out I had Parkinsons, >but have tried not to mention it. I should have known she would figure it out. >I love her, more now than when we first met. Some people say we spend to >much time together, that we should meet new people. >I was lucky enough to marry my best friend. I have other people I like >to consider my friends, some of them I've never met. But Kristen, well, >she, o piffile! I seem to be at a loss for words. > >My goodness! The alarm is gonna trip in ten minutes. If I start now, >I can send this, wind my way past the cats, and make it to the bathroom and >Kristen won't be worried 'cause I've only had four hours sleep. > >Marvin. > >
