He will talk to me, but his selection of words will not make any sense. Sometimes, he loses the thread of what he is trying to say too. This never lasts longer than a few minutes, but it is very distressing to me. Has anyone else out there experienced this phenomenon? He is 56 and was diagnosed 12 years ago. He did have an MRI recently but we have not yet received the results. thanks all, Barb Bates>>>> Barb, I observe that there is some reduction in 'thinking speed' at the end of a med period - (that is, my evening meal is usually after 30 to 60 minutes after I have taken my half-25/250 carbidopa/levodopa and half-Permax 0.25) - and I consider that this is due to the fact that the medication is not yet in my brain where needed AND the digestion process has 'moved' most of the blood 'transporters' to the stomach and lower intestine where the food resources/nutrients are becoming available. the latter 'concentration' of blood to do the metabolism seems to reduce the available blood nutrients to the brain - and sometimes there is too much protein or fat or ??? that keeps the medication in the stomach and I remain underdosed. hope there is some value to you in these observations. Happy Holidays to All of you listers. postscript: thank you for the <<<Jim Finn <[log in to unmask]> Subject: IMPORTANT: UPDATE #1 Pig-cell implant>>> message.
