Hi Camilla and Peter, I wanted to let you all know that Fuad is just finishing week 5 and is doing good too. He is at 1.5 mg three times a day. Will be starting on 2 mg three times a day on Monday. We have also cut his Sinemet. Will reduce again on Monday. We have had a very bad time since he was hospitalized on Sept 8, for dehydration and complete medication withdrawal after 14 hours of extreme diarrea. I am hoping that the Requip will help us bring him back. We need everyone's prayers. One doctor has given up on Fuad and considers him in the advanced stages. I just can't give up yet. We have fought so long. Barb Camilla Flintermann wrote: > Peter has now nearly finished his 3rd week on ReQuip, though at a reduced > rate, so this was the first week he took 2 a day.
