Hi, Marjorie - In a message dated 97-04-18 00:59:13 EDT, you write: >When they had to remove part of my colon last summer, they found >partially dissolved Sinemet CR tablets in my abdominal cavity in the >area where my colon perforated. Do the doctors think the presence of the CR against the wall of the colon was the cause of the perforation? Is so, that might be even more motivation for PWP to make sure they take Propulsid or a stool softener or whatever it takes to keep things moving. We too are anxiously awaiting the patch. It should entirely eliminate whatever "ons" and "offs" are caused by the incomplete absorption of the meds. And for those who experience nausea with Sinemet, bypassing the digestive system should eliminate it completely - at least based on what I know of other drug reactions. As an example, I couldn't tolerate estrogen in pill form, but the patch is a life-saver! No digestive problems whatsoever. We're glad to hear your knee is operable again. Have you heard of anyone else having problems with a knee popping out of place due to foot-drop? Best wishes, Margie (another Marjorie) Swindler cg for Dick, 52/15 [log in to unmask]
