Hi Ron,
I do not get dykinesias, but have wearing off dystonias a lot. These are often triggered early by eating, so I too often do not eat till later in the day. I have found that not eating gives me a trouble free day, but is far from practical, and can lead to some weird situations - like have you ever done food shopping when you are really really hungry - your trolley will look completely different when you get to the checkout! Sleep also interferes in some way which leads me to the conclusion that there is a metabolic element to PD that the neuros are not even looking at. If I really want a good day with no fluctuations I take the drastic step of not going to bed at al AND not eating, and feel for most of the day like my old self. The next day, however, I collapse ........

Lindy
