Like you, Lee, I would get along fine with my meds if I didn't have to (and like to)eat! I'm aware that even a small amount of protein can turn me off, but most of the time it seems that any food at all will find me immovable until another dose kicks in. When you take a 25/100 Sinemet every two hours,there is no good time to eat! I guess your method of fasting by one meal a day is probably the best way. Anyone else have a better one? Ruth Clark
