So good to hear that your mom is receiving some benefit from the medication. Laura has already responded to most of your post about her progress - however both posts took me back to my own early response to exactly the same dose that your mother is taking. At the time I felt as though there was a certain magic in the way it had eliminated some symptoms, but with hindsight there were others that took longer to respond, and some never did. So you do need to give it time, too, for the benefits to come through.

I am so pleased that those subtle things are returning, PD is a bit like an eclipse, where life and color seem to drain away and everything becomes unnaturally quiet and still - we are fortunate in that there are medications that can help reverse much of this.
