Very unusual night
OK, I went to bed at 11:30 slightly off but no freezing - unusual.
Woke at 3:00 AM, moderately off, slight "threat" of freezing, took Sinemet CR just in case.
Went back to bed at 4:30 little changed either direction - unusual.
Woke at 6:30 buzzing like a bee, fully functional almost immediately with a little dyskinesia - very unusual.
It has been taking me 1 to 2 hours to even get to "on" and early AM meds have been ineffective lately.
I'm going to hold off on more meds until I see what happens. Normally it is one Sinemet CR and 8 mg Requip immediately.
