Hi,
ZucchiniFlower( I grew zucchini on my farm ...nice flower) and others have asked me to outline my daily program. I hope some are encouraged to experiment as I am doing.
The importance of recording changes in symtoms hourly and sticking to a program for at least 7 days before changing is vital as far as I have found out. The graph I trace at the bottom of the page of my diary is most helpfull to me as I can then compare day to day results.

Daily Program B

Medication 1/2 Sinemet 250/25 five times a day

Antioxidants (with Ref Code)

co enzyme Q10 (400mg capsule) code= Q
Vitamin E (1000iu capsule) code = E
Vitamin D (1000iu capsule) code = D
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid 2000mg) code = C
Omega 3 Fish oil ( 1000mg capsules) code = 03
DHEA (3mg tablet) code = DH
Ginko Biloba (7500 complex capsule) code = G
Alpha lioic acid (200mg tablet0 code = ALA
Melatonin ( 3mg tablet) code = M
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (1/2 spoon in water) code = ALC

On my A4 Daily Diary I then record my program together with an observation factor scale 1 to 10 at the right side for Eyesight =E, Cognitive =C, Mobility =M, Shaky = S, Dizzy = D and Vitality = V.
I also show a sleep factor for the previous night = PNS
e.g. below

PNS=
time........ Substance .................................................. ................. E C M S D V
6.00am 1/2 S, 1/ALA,1/G,1/ALC,1/M
8.30 1/2 S, 2/03,1/Q,1/C,1/D,1/E,1/DH
11.30 1/2 S,2/03,1/Q,1/C,1/E.
1.30PM 1/2 S
4.00 1/2 S,1/ALA,2/03,1/Q,1/E
Bottom of page
Graph tracing times of day I actually take sinemet together with graph line of my general well being.
from 4 to 10
.................... Vertical
.......................Factor
............................10.
..............................8
..............................6
..............................4
Time of Sinemet
Time of day.....................6.am 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 1PM 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

This can program of mine can only be a guide for you as no two with PD have exactly the same symptoms.
Some ideas you may consider. I set my calendar alarm on my Mobile for the 5 times of the day I take medications, store the 5 lots in small containers and when away from home take the appropriate ones and always carry a bottle of water.That's all I can think of for the moment.
All the best to those prepared to make the effort.
