Charles, Our thoughts have been with you. Will you be taking Sinemet with STN? This may seem like a strange question from me but remember I am blinded to results of my surgery, and I can't take Sinemet without dyskinesia. Worse dyskinesia when turned "on" than when turned "off" Oh well, it isn't needed. Keep us informed to your progress. jjjane http://www.geocities.com/soho/village/6263/pienet/people/hithross.html
