Default interesting! my score

Tests completed at 12 pm 4 hours after taking 100/25 sinemet (i.e. in the wearing off time of medication). Results:
left hand score 15.67
right hand score 13.12
It a simple test and I suppose it brings some objectivity in follow up of progress of the disease. I also regularly use and make note of Rick's method by standing on one leg (left and right) with both arms lifted above head and touching each other (a yoga poster) and counting until falling off.
Generally speaking, I think most of us know how we are doing with or without medication from multiple of symptoms such as tremor, energy, rigidity, etc. .
Thank you John for your interesting contributions.
