Sir James: we are all scared to some degree. Continual input seems to wear off the sharp edge of fear as time goes by. I was diagnosed 1/98, and feel much less afraid than at the beginning. One adapts, believe it or not. As to requip, I finally would not change my lifestyle to "sleep off" every dose and my MDS/Neuro agreed, so I phased out of Requip, and gradually started on Sinemet 25/l00 CR. I'm still working out the kinks, meaning my dosage has not been fine-tuned to provide the very best results, but I'm getting closer. Yesterday I felt flu-like symptoms, syncope, mild nausea, so didn't eat. Failed to take my 5 p.m. Sinemet, and did FINE without it. A vital clue! Good luck to you. Clare Wilson
