>Dear Pat--
I do not have much to offer along the line of coping with a somewhat similar
case I have. My problems involve both feeling too hot and sweating my bed
clothes damp at night and being extremely sensitive to any drafts in that I
do not tolerate air conditioning very well. In fact. It is another instance
of trying to live on that delicate edge beween having sufficient
carbidopa/levodopa to control symptoms and less than the amount that brings
on dyskinesias.This has been a problem since earl;y in the course of the
disease( 69, dx some 16 years ago) I think it may have ameliorated some when
I changed from Parlopdel to Permax and I might be getting a little more
relief from Tasmar.
I hope we get some response from others who have good methods
of coping with thermostat problems
