Thanks to Erv, Brian, Barb, Ron and Maria for your comments on appetite and nausea. I passed all of your replys on to my Dad and Mom. My mother has been taking her medication during her meal, i.e. while eating. Here is her medications (in response to Ron's question): Sinemet(Carbidopa/Levo 25/100) 3 tablets 3x per day Selegiline hcl 5mg (Eldepryl) 1 tablet morning and 1 at noon Bromocriptine 2.5mg (Parlodel) 2 tablets per day She is going to experiment with these suggestions. She is more able to eat since taking medication with meals, but will try your suggestions. I had heard that ginger was a good remedy for the nausea. Does anyone else use it...raw, ginger snaps, ginger tea, ginger candy...? THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!
