First thing in the morning is as close to a baseline as we get, I suppose, so:

#1: Time from awakening to taking of first medications.

and

#2: Time from ingesting first meds to first full "ON".

#3: Time from first full "ON" to first sign of "OFF"
This one would require one to intentionally allow meds to drop.

These three would allow us to spot changes rather than absolutes and partially correct for our individual stages and regimens. Anything that, say, JeanB reports as extending her times by 50% is likely to be of some benefit to me regardless of our individual situations.

Any comments or suggestions?
