Let's help him back. >=20 >=20 Hello Barbara and MaryHelen I missed this request the first time around, but now having seen Barb's reply, I wonder if the daily symptoms record which forms the basis for input to my analysis=A0program would fit the bill? It comprises a more detailed=20 record than any other that I have seen, but I don't consider it to be beyond the abilities of most people. I believe some people use my recording method on its own : that is, without sending the results to me for analysis. Thats=20 fine, and I know that in some cases, having taken the data and plotted it out, the answer to a particular problem often becomes visibly without further analysis I may have misunderstood the original request, which mentioned a check list, but nonetheless, if the objective is to understand what was going on during any particular day, it could be what you want. By the way Barb; one person who sent me data waited for me to analyse it,=20 which I did with no problems ,apart from mild surprise at the rather high=20 levels of Sinemet being used, and then casually mentioned that he had had a=20 Pallidotomy a year ago ! It didnt seem to affect the analysis method at all. Anyone wishing to read more on this method of analysing and getting the best out of your Sinemet tablets will find a full description in a page kindly lent to me by Ron Vetter.=20 The URL is given below. http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/~rfvetter/brianspd.html If you get no response, split the URL in two: Go to http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/ - This gets you into the site. =20 Then go to ~rfvetter/brianspd.html This finds my page.
