Dear Cyber-sibs, Last night I attended a demonstration of devices (pads, pillows, seat cushions, shoe inserts, etc.) which contained magnets that were supposed to help cure what ails you. During the hour and one-half presentation I sat on one of the seat cushions. It was comfortable, but I experienced no unusual sensations... until half an hour later. At that time I experienced the most severe case of dyskinesia I have ever had. That was at the time when my early evening dose of meds usually came on. On the surface I would say that I was suffering from a overdose of sinemet, but it was the normal dose that I have been taking for several months. That leaves an increase in dopamine level from some other source. The big question, of course, is were the magnets envolved in any way with the experience? It will be a few days before I will have time to try and replicate the experience. Has anyone else had any experiences with this? (No jokes about "magetic personalities", please :)) Bruce 56/9 Sinemet CR & Mirapex ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bruce G.
