At Edie: Just try it. You start with such a smal;l amount you can always back off. Gordon just started Week 2 and it has helped him. As a rresult of surgeries his tremors are greatly relieved but he is pretty still, slow walking, etc. I would say it is erratic, he has used 10% less Sinemet, but today it will be as usual. It is also very hot and he does not do well in hot weather, ever. Anyway, good luck--Regards T.L. Seese
