Dear Rita,
There is also a problem about how much is used per patient.. One fellow I
know from my support group has reduced his Sinemet to 19 @25/100's + 2
@50/200 CR's per day.
This would a jumping off place. With current estimates from people in the
know saying that in the US there are a million of us, plus or minus a half
million, we could probably narrow the guesstimates substantially.
I asked DuPont and was turned down.
