-----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Sherilyn Sherry <[log in to unmask]> Aan: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Datum: dinsdag 20 juli 1999 3:24 Onderwerp: Having a bad night Hi Sherilyn, >> I feel short of breath often, suffer orthostitic hypotension << Shortness of breath can be caused by low bloodpressure. Orthostatic hypotension can give a simular feeling or both symptoms can work together. Also they can cause a feeling like being scared. When a patient is short of breath, a phycisian should always examine the patient to exclude the possibility of more serious problems. Have it checked for reassurance. >> and now I speaking is terrible. I can't enuncaite. My tongue and lips just won't cooperate. << Do you have speech-therapy? >> Meds are 1/4 Sinemet x3, 1/2 miripex x3, << In the other posting I read you get dyskinetic when you use more meds. You use very low doses of meds. Because of the dyskinesia it is difficult to raise them. There are a few possibilities: - some people are sort of allergic to some meds. Your neuro might try other meds. - you have more negative effects from the side-effects of the meds than positive effects. Your neuro should also consider switching to other meds. - orthostatic hypotension is often a side-effect of agonists. Officialy it is supposed to disappear after a while, but often it does not. Hans.
