Glad to, Dan, but only if you call me Jim. :-) > I live in a town about 10 miles south of Cincinnati, Ohio; and about > 100 miles north of Louisville, Ky. I live in Orange, New South Wales, about 165 miles west of Sydney, our largest city, and the State capital. The population of Orange is around 35,000. Despite its name (which it got from William of Orange) there are no Oranges, but we are the largest apple-growing area in the country. > I was diagnosed with PD in 1985.

In my case, the Eldepryl seems to make the Sinemet more effective. > I have a problem with Dyskenesia when my medication is on. But I have > trouble with my feet sticking > when it is off. I am a computer teacher at the local Technical College. I am also a computing consultant. So I have to play games with my medication to slide my effective "window" of about 4 hours up and down the day, so as to be most useful when I need it. Sometimes I miscalculate, under or over, and have to compensate, but usually it works. Jim
