To: [log in to unmask] Date: 97-01-07 05:31:21 EST Hi Dale; I am also a new member, as a matter of fact less than 24 hrs, I have gained more info from this group in 24hrs. than I have recd. from my mother's doctor in 3 yrs. I am also new to the computer and internet, I thought I sent a message to the group asking about the ups and downs of SINEMET, but, I must have done something wrong! I will try again, My mother has had parkinsons for about 3yrs. and her DR. is not a wealth of information, to say the least, I made a call today to Lahey clinic and set up an appointment with a new DR. I hope we can get more info than just take sinemet and see you in three months.her DR. had her on 1 1/2 sinemet cr and tells me "I" can go up to 3 a day, I did increase to 2 but, I would like to know what the usual dose is. Thank you for the info on the parkinsons disease foundation, I will send off a note today! see, your info helped more people than you thought! Thank You [log in to unmask]
