The most serious problem I have experienced with PD has been a tendency to fall asleep for a few seconds time after time after time. This forced me to quit driving and has seriously affected my performance as a trial lawyer -- minimal succeess with coffee,. coke or caffein products. My PD doctor has indicated that most medicines were contraindicated on the basis of the meds I am taking (Requip, Eldepryl and high blood sugar meds.) I have seen posts from others about this problem and have concluded it is a PD problem. I explained it to a friend and he suggested I try a weight control natural product called "Heritage E.Lite" manufactured by Heritage Health Products Co., 400 North Link , Fort Collins, Colo. 80524 ([log in to unmask] Karl Schakel, Sr. ) Frankly, I had just about resigned myself to the conclusion that there was no hope for a solution. But I have tried E.Lite (one pill in the morning) for two days and it is magic. That is not a long enough test, but I didn't want to delay getting the word to others who have the same problem. I do not feel drugged or wired, but I have had no problems whatsoever from a 12 hour day (depositions and a hearing on one day and an all day conference on another) -- didn't fall asleep once and didn't even have a yawning session. And I had no trouble sleeping at night. If this continues for a month or so I am going to try highway driving again. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Hope other may benefit from this news.
