Hi! I don't have much information for you re: APOMORPHINE except to tell you that I am scheduled to be in a test study for the drug beginning May of 1999. One of the studies is going on now, however, I am leaving the country for a vacation and didn't want to be on something new while out of the USA. I will let you know about it when I have been in the research program for a month or so. I am 57 and have been a PWP for 15 years. Currently I am on a daily doseage of: 25/100 Sinemet (1/2 every 2 hours) for a total of 5, 3 Re-Quip, 2 Eldypryl, and 5 Parlodel. Also, and in my opinion one of the most important factors in the control of the symptoms, I water-walk 1 hour daily and work out with exercise equipment in the gym for 45 minutes daily to retail as much strength as possible -- occasionally the PD lets me use the muscles I am strengthening!!!:) A positive attitude is necessary but not always the easiest thing to come by! This morning I stood frozen in front of my gym locker for about 5 minutes while the cute young things looked and tried to figure out what was so interesting in my empty locker! There is humor in everything! Claudia
