However, back in '84 I had a 5 day "drug holiday" and became incredibly rigid -- My left thigh was about the consistency of wood. I restarted the Sinemet and a half hour later my left arm had a couple of wiggles (Dyskinesias) and I was reborn-for all intents and purposes a normal man. Regards, WHH 55/38/37
