Parkinson's question. UPDATE #12 - Relief!

Well, we'll see if she is given one.

I was out this evening and had a phone message from her when I got home. She said she had a lie-down on the couch and is feeling relaxed (breathing is normal when she lies on the couch), that she is feeling better and for me not to worry. (Like THAT'S easy!).

It doesn't seem to be a 911 call situation...if her neuro office doesn't call tomorrow she is calling them back first thing Monday morning.

Just praying and waiting.

WHEW!

My mom heard back from the clinic. She thought she was supposed to take ONE pill three times a day for one day, then build up so she was on TWO pills three times a day by day 3.

NOPE. She was to do the 1 x 3 for THREE days, then up it for another THREE days, and to PULL BACK the dosage if she started having any bad side effects. So Mom basically jumped to a full dose very quickly!

So now she will go back to 1 x 3, and build up the way she is supposed to. And she can drop back when it gets to be too much!

Thanks everyone for your feedback and help. I am so relieved that it was this simple!
