Hi Mary-- when you get time to read this---so far, so good with the ReQuip.
This week he started taking 2 tabs. 3X a day--this would have been about
the dose for the 2nd week, instead of the 7th, on the "normal" schedule
suggested by the mfgr. Today he had one very mild hallucination--thought a
daughter had been here--just a "sense", not visual or auditory. It may be
time to reduce Sinemet again, and we're watching closely. I do hope that
part of Mel's trouble at least will be relieved by the dialysis, and that
is is not too hard on him. What a shame that he has to go through it--but
that it was his choice is what matters. Thinking of you BOTH--please let us
know how things go.
