Niel. The COQ10 is an interesting one. The NZ Ginseng did not work for me. It is vastly different from the U.S. Ginseng with totally different ingredients. It is too early to tell but the initial testing suggests Q10 is giving me a longer on time and up until this morning a shorter off time during the first meds of the morrning. Hold the cricket bat eeerrr the phone....... This mornings meds took 80 mins to kick in, still not tooo bad. i've had one occassion where the kick in time was over two hours.

I wonder if the same speculators on Wall Street who are creaming it with top dollar bidding on oil, thus driving the price of fuel beyond belief ($NZ120 to fill car today. $NZ55 less than a year ago) are doing the same with Q10

The neuro has increased my snmt from 900 mg per day to 1500mg per day
and that seems a huge jump. So far it has meant being on for over 22 but what of the consequences going forward. What is known to be a safe level? Anybody on 1500mg per day snmt or more. And I wont mention the cricket

this earlier thread as to the "safe level of sinement" (misspell so you may have missed it) may help.

Neil.

brilliant Niel just what I wanted to know. Must have missed that thread when it was doing the rounds.

seems like you're on the high side but in no way exceptionally high.

Enjoy the dopamine

Neil.

p.s. Our gas is now £1.10p per litre or £5 per gallon thats 9.9 US Dollars per gallon or 12.7 New Zealand dollars for a gallon of fuel. Beat that !!

Howard,

i take between 13-1500 mg of sinemet a day. For the first half of the day i need meds every two to two and a half hours, then I back off in the evening. I take a low dose xanax to sleep, synthroid for hypo thyroid, prozac for depression - just one low dose, and the only other med for pD - amantadine. i would be completely dyskinetic without it. I have received more benefit from amantadine than requip. Selegeline and mirapex got me through 7 years of diagnosis and at least ten from onset of symptoms. I am pretty fine tuned....food is something to be worked around.

after vomiting -your blood ph will be acidic - and your electrolytes need to be restored - that is the only thing - I have found my dear howard...

the link you provided gave me new knowledge on how much the body can take when increasing quantities. And as for the cost of food, energy, etc, the commrcialising of AMWAR, the 24 hour research and development into fusion energy and the mass production of bio crops via genetic enginering, now if we could just convince those tree huggers the world will not end tomorrow.....................The BLACK CAPS have arrived, with soooo many of our players transferring to the lucrative Indian League and a market that contains a billion crazed Indian fans, this series against England will be a rebuilding phase for us. Already the scribs are labeling the kiwis NZ D

Thanks Paula, knowing that the body can with stand large quanties of meds. is reassuring for me especially going from 900 mg per day to 1500. Neil's link and your own experiences provided me the data neccessary to carry on going forward.

Tena, as well as electrolites i am trying a course of pro biotics. recommended by a former GP of mine before she transffered to Australia. Pro Biotics apparently replaces the good bacteria in the gut lost through stressful times.
