Friday I get my new bed ,name Wonderland, dobbel size, - goodbye old narrov mattress -. Good night friends .

Good sleep is good medicine. Rest well friend.

I hope your new medicine helps you to feel better.

3 days to see your neuro. Well, you'lll feel a lot better when you get on Madopar (the European brand of sinemet; it contains Benzaseride instead of Carbidopa as the ingredient that takes away the feeling that you get in your stomach that makes you feel sick if you take only L-Dopa, which is the ingredient that is turned into dopamine in the brain).
I had a lot of problems with Requip. I never did get used to it. It made me feel sicker than taking nothing at all. A lot of people with parkinsons can take it no problem, but many too have great problems with Requip.
Yes, a big mattress is wonderful, we tend to need lots of room, if we get restless at night. Enjoy it. You shoul take at least 3 tablets a day, spaced evenly, and don't miss a dose. I'll bet that in a week or so you will feel like a new person cs

Hello Ol`cs -, thank`s for answering me and giving me good advise about my medicine. I took my first MADOPAR one hour ago. Reading the enclosure I got a bit scared , losing my mind, become psychotic , or have a lot off special movements out of control.
Hope for the best, glad I found this forum, think it is serious and have qualities ,
This writhing takes time ,I sit with my dictionary trying to get this not laughable ! What do you think about driving a car after taking this medicine ?

Hei K Ibsen, I feel good after taking my first tablett Madopar. Let´s hope I dont get any halutions or other "kick´s".
My new big bed came today.
Tonight I will dream that I am walking in the montains, beeng 35 years and in love. Are you from Scandinavia ? God helg !

My ancestors are Scandinavian. I was born here in the US. When I was very young I remember my elders speaking Norwegian. I grew up in a community of Scandinavian immigrants. Sorry, but I don't remember the language. I only ever heard it spoken and never saw it written. I would like to travel to that part of the world someday.

Oversettelse

Mine forfededre er Scandinavian. Jeg var født her i USA. Da jeg var meget ung hus jeg mine eldste som taler Nordmann. Jeg vokste opp i et fellesskap av Scandinavian innvandrere. Trist, men jeg hus språket ikke. Jeg hørte bare noensinne at det taledde og sagå aldri det skrev. Jeg ville like reise til at del# av verdenen en dag.

Don't worry about all the things that you read about in the paper that comes with the medication. You will know within three days if you are a good "responder" to Madopar. You may feel a bit sick to your stomach at first. This would be a very normal reaction to the medicine, but usually doesn't last more than a week or so. If it gets bad, take something you know of to settle your stomach. If you are one of the very few people who "just cannot take Madopar", your body will let you know it, and there are options to go from there. The other side effects happen not often at all. You may notice that you have strange dreams, which can get to be nightmares sometimes, but, before bed, just think about being 35, in love and in the mountains, then you'll likely have good dreams and not nightmares. However don't be afraid if you have vivid dreams or nightmares, this too is very common, and doesn't last for too long a time.
I was 25, big, strong and healthy, and in love, and lived in British Columbia at one time of my life. I had many scandinavian friends. We used to go hiking and mountain climbing and fishing in the mountains, when i think of these times , they are my best memories. The Scandinavian guys were very big and muscular and not afraid of anything. I worked for 2 years in a sawmill where we cut up very big logs. All my friends were very good people, and very generous. To them it was more important to have a friend than to have money. I remember that we used to drink and fight too much at times, but always got up, dusted ourselves off and shook hands and laughed about it. It was no world for sick old men!
It is nice to have Parkinson's people here from different parts of the world. I would like to see more people from all over the world here, but there is the language barrier. Please don't stop asking questions. Your English is just fine. I wish that I could answer questions in all kinds of different languages. Around here, we don't care too much about spelling or saying things so very correctly; It is the communication that counts. cs

hey vertigo! i was married to a Norwegian for 19 years (2nd generation American; 100% Norwegian - Seattle has a large Scandinavian population); stubborn fellow! we remain good friends. our daughter is half Norwegian; she looks forward to visiting one day. I commend your use of English and welcome you!
