Dear Friends--It's been awhile since I win evidence here, for a number of reasons, family emergencies, server problems at Miami U., and Peter's escalating symptoms. This AM we spent at the ER, checking to be sure the abdonimal pains he had since yesterday afternoon were not serious (he always fears impaction, of course.) Now at home, he is a bit more mobile, but no less depressed, I fear. He's tired of fighting . One thing I want to ask: do others have experience of a sort of dyskinesia of the JAW? He has for a long time had unconscious biting of his tongue, but recently, with a slight increase in his sinemet, started a tic-like jerking sideways of the whole jaw--he wasn't aware of it till I mentioned it. I cut back on the Sinemet at once, and now it seems to have disappeared, so I'm guessing he FINALLY reached the threshhold of dyskinesia, having always been under- rather than over-medicated. Comments? Server is fixed, and I'll try to catch up here. Sorry to learn of Barb M's layoff--never a pleasant experience, even when "nothing personal" is involved. Glad Ivan loves his new house.....take care, all...
