Hi Joanna - I'm in Cottonwood, Arizona, and have decided to take Mom to Barrows Neurological Institute in Phoenix (about two hours away). I will speak with the doctor once more tomorrow, and if he refuses to refer her I will find another doctor who will, even if this is someone I do not wish to use after the exam. It is important, and I will not rest easy until she is seen by specialists. I need a diagnosis, prognosis and proper treatment for her. I still don't know what to do about the meds. Has anyone ever heard of a person taking short acting Sinemet before every dose of Sinemet CR? Or is this only done with the morning dose? Thanks - Sue cg for Kathryn 85/1 week [log in to unmask] On Wed, 19 Feb 1997, Joanna Porvin wrote: > Hi Sue. > > I have to agree with others who've posted. Parkinson's in not the > same for everyone.
