Hello Alan: I came into the thread a little late but hopefully you wil get something from my posting: Pre "P" symptoms: toe, foot, ankle cramp and spasms THE WORST PAIN IN MY LIFE!!!!! sometimes both feet at the same time lasting about 45 minutes. and stiffness with/and freezing Post "P" cramping and spasms DISSAPEARED IMMEDIATELY not to come back!!!!! stiffness with/and freezing continues I havent had tremor in years and no dyskenesias. I take 3200 Vit E daily 900 Vit C containing 9 10/100 also an assortment of PERMAX, PARLODEL and 50/200 CR. I had the "P" in May and in August we began to cut down the total meds. Thanks to ALAN B. (may he rest in peace) my neuro agreed to cut down the 1st # in the Sinemet to 200 total for the day. So, my total Sinemet (1st #) is now 190. There has been NO DIFFERENCE in my PD. THE MAIN RESULT in my cutting down the meds has been a constant run to the W.C. I have begun loosing the accumulated water and my weight has been coming down. Good luck and keep us all informed Joyce
