Return-Path: [log in to unmask] Hi Craig.... Thanks for the congrats. As for our question, I think that's one of those "Which came first, the chicken or the egg" type questions. My GUESS.. and it's not a particularly educated guess at that, 'cause I know very little about Tasmar other than what list members post about tit, is that is might be the Tasmar - but maybe not! I suggest ya post THIS question on the list so those who actually TAKE the drug in their daily med regimen can respond, based upon real life experiences rather than a mere guess like I'm giving ya. Take care.... Barb M. ---------- From: Craig Mellinger Sent: Monday, September 21, 1998 10:50 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: There'll be a hot time in the old town tonite!! Bab Congratulations for the victory. For some unexplainable reason both of my claims were appoved with no problem. The first was my claim to NJ for benefits from them to cover me for the 6 months it takes for the Social Security to make their decision. I was notified in sufficient time to notify the state agency to not send me a check for Dec 97.They didn't and it saved me the trouble of mailing it back to Trenton. A far as the review goes I under stand that PWP are scheduled for their case review after 5 years. I have a few questions to ask..First on the meds I Take. After the initial go around the Neuro settled on this for my regimine.SinemetCR 50/200 tabs 1 1/2 3 times a day,, Artane 2mg tbs 1x3times a day,Eldepryl 5 mg tabs 1 x 2 times a day, now the next one is Tasmar. The only reason i'm on it is because I asked him about it.So he wrote a presciption for it of Tasmar 100mg 1 x 3 times a day.How ever he took me off the Mirapex at this time.. Now it seems to me at this change in my meds,also brought about a sudden and drastic change in my falling backwards. Lets say an average of 5-times a day easily.An orthopedic surgeon I was seeing for something else took a look at when I was in to see him about two weeks ago.He moved my right arm around a little bit and then sent me down the hall for X-Rays. I was not surprised when he said I have bone chips in there. Its go to be a result of all the falling I am doing.My question is this Is it because of the change to Tasmar or just a natural progression of PD. I notice most of our fellow PWP when they talk about their meds mention their schedule as a specific time not like my schedule of 3 times day. Well thats about for this time If you have any questions please ask them. Thanks for listning. Craig 60/2. --------------26994B7233B--
