Default sinemet

I've been on sinemet almost since the day I was diagnosed. thats ten years now and I take 8-10 25/100 cr per day....little to no dyskinesia. I had to do some juggling to make it work but what I did was reduce my dose to a two hour schedule and I eat 20-30 minutes after I take my meds. I eat light, just a handful of almonds, or a slice of whole grain toast or whatever I want really, just eat small portions. (Oh ...I will become dyskinetic if I eat sugary foods. Sugar and low GI foods always mess up my medication. Once I get dykinetic I am pretty much stuck with it all day. It's tiring and grinds you down. I prefer to tolerate a bit of shaking as the alternative. I believe my diet is the ticket to being dysk free. cheers....jw
