Hello, I was so excited to hear of the 60 min info on Parkinson's ! As you may recall I am Wendy and my mom Ellie is has PD. I have to tell you I read to her a post from this list that helped her so much. I do not recall who posted just that they were explaining how they felt during the course of the day. It may have been Janet? Any way Mom for once in all these years said that she felt a kindred spirit with this person who was posting how they feel when they have a off day. Thank you from myself and my mom Ellie just for sharing that. Now on to my question on Siniment.. My mom is taking 200/50 3 x a day. They are suppose to be time released. She wakes up feeling great high function and can do most things. As soon as she takes her medication it puts her in a low function mode. Some days she cannot do much and feels Locked in her body for this short time. This has just started and it is scary for her and for me. I was wondering does this sound right that after the medication is taken you get worse? Does this seem like Alot of medication for her. She is only 5" 2' tall and 115 lbs. So not a large person. We are in the process of doing a daily diary.. My Aunt is visiting from MN and is able to write down for mom how she feels. I had offered for her to come live in our house but she is not yet ready to do this. and I respect her for wanting to stay on her own. Thanks for this list and the Care givers list God bless, Wendy Samper CG Mom/Ellie 64/7 Macon, Georgia
