Re: Sharing a Jim observation/Arlene

[Guest guest]

Thanks once again for your input. You gave me some more food for thought in

mentioning the lack of sodium. I also was surprised to hear that Jim is

still on Sinemet 4 x's a day. My husband has been weaned off of it and

although

he is no longer ambulatory he gets range of motion exercises in the bed and

chair and his rigidity hasn't increased.

After having been diagnosed with Parkinsons, it was then Lewy Body Disease,

then Lewy Body Dementia, and then Multiple System Atrophy. The Sinemet did

work for many years, I must admit. The dementia is bad now, and I think that

I probably should be looking more closely at the confusion when it occurs.

As far as knowing what a baby's cry means, I was never able to tell with

both of my children. Some form of retardation on my part perhaps!

Thanks again - I feel a bit more reassured since I got that off my chest.

You are a doll and I wish that I could meet you some day. Arlene
