I "deteriorated" for about a year--going from about three hours to about forty five minutes "on" time from my first Sinemet of the day, then one day I had reason to stay home past the subsequent "off" time. I left the house stiff as a board, but then, to my amazement, got what I saw then as another fifteen-thirty minutes of gratuitous "on " tine. We had treated the place for termites the preceding spring. I became convinced that my home was poisoning me. Everybody thought me nuts. But I knew my symptoms. It took another six months and an offer we couldn't refuse to move closer to my Mom to get outta that place. I wonder how reversible this poisoning is. I never got back to where my first dose of Sinemet gave me three hours. Regards, WHH 55/38/37
