My PD symptons are a slight tremor in my right hand and right foot, these are annoytng but hardly noticeable by others. However, I have a real problem with drowsiness every day about noon. I call it 'fatigue' because if I don't take a 30-45 minute nap I just drag around until 4 or 5 PM. My other problems are drooling , mild depression and insomnia. The only PD medication I take is 2- 50/200 Dinemet CR (1/2 four times per day). I have trouble decididing if it is the Sinemet or the insomnia, or both. I plan on talking it over with my Neuro ( Dr Abe Lieberman ) on my visit next month, if he has a solution I'll post it to the list, Bob 64/2 --------------9F61E005E8167A17C11166F5 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="vcard.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Bob Chapman Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="vcard.vcf" begin: vcard fn: Bob Chapman n: Chapman;Bob email;internet: [log in to unmask] x-mozilla-cpt: ;0 x-mozilla-html: TRUE end: vcard --------------9F61E005E8167A17C11166F5--
