Good morning Dale,

You did indeed pick a good time to go to the SS.

I just wanted to let you know that Fuad went through a similar reaction, but
finally at week 6 with no Sinemet he is starting to improve.  He is on 12 mg a
day 4 mg x 3 and is showing signs of overmedication.

The positive side is that his mind is clearer and he is able to do the physical
therapy better.  To help with the aches he has been taking Nuprin.

Try to hang in there if you can.
