I've bumped this back to the top since I had to look here to see when I had last seen the doctor. I did great the first week on the CPAP machine. Really seemed to help at first then less and less as the nights went on. The pollen went off the chart here and I started having sinus drainage so bad I w...

Just a quick update on how things are going. Still don't miss the sinemet, glad I got off it finally. I've cut out the half Hydro in the morning and the half at lunch. That gets me down from 3 total a day to 2 total. My arthritis in my shoulders hurts a bit more but Aleve seems to take care of most ...

Thanks for sticking with me Zach. Yeah, the whiskey was definately not planned and except for this occurance I haven't touched the stuff for about a month. Then it was only 1 drink every few days, usually Sherry or Port then. I've never had a drinking or drug problem so I'm not too worried about let...

I'm not giving up Zach. Thanks again for sticking with me through this. Friday evening was probably the worst I've ever had. Was it withdrawals? Probably. Here's what took place. Spent the day at work like usual 8 - noon, lunch from noon to 1 then 1 -5. Was tired and having BIG problems with memory ...

Well it's 4:45am on friday the 19th now. I haven't slept much last night but better than the nothing the night before. I got probably and hour or so between 11pm and 1am. I've visited Walmart and spent time in the garage, done 2 loads of laundry and one load of dishes. So today I'll be at work on ti...

Thanks for the input everyone. Yes I know that Requip is also a DA but it does not seem to cause augmentation as bad as the Sinimet (at least to me). One of the chief trouble-shooting lessons I've learned is change one thing at a time. Otherwise you don't know exactly what made the difference. Plus ...

Funny ya'll should mention the sheets wearing out. I just bought a new bed about 6 weeks ago. King size "Doctors Choice" from Denver Mattress Company. I love it and so does the wife. My personnal like is the fact that the mattress does not move when I get in and out of bed. Before with a queen size ...

I'm not exactly new to the board but I post so rairely that I have to renew my membership everytime I post. But back to the subject. I started taking Sinemet about as soon as it became available for RLS. No information was available at that early date about augmentation and it hit me the day after I...
