Thank you all for answering Valerie's call for help so quickly. The first response was the only one she read at the time and that one convinced her to call a friend to get me to the hospital. Thanks, John. Camilla, we did fax a request for help to the neuro while waiting for an appt. Ron, you nailed me, I was playing with the dosage of sinemet that A.M., thinking I was over med icated when it tturns out I was under medicated. Janet, you are a great detective -- a friend brought a printout of the doxepin info you provided to the hospital!! SO happens thst my neuro Rxed something else for me to sleep at the hosp and said I could start doxepin again or change , whichever . no apparent reason on his part. But I have noticed some strange pains in various areas at various times seem to be missing, and severity of tremors has lessened. Could it be so easy? We shall see. I actually just arrived home from the hospital and am headed for bed ... but I would not be able to rest well til I sent thanks. You may post this on the list if you wish, embarrassed as I should be, as an example of how fast trouble can come and quicken if one is not thinking clearly (is stubborn)....and how fast one can get help from this list.
