Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 I think the most immediate effect from a new medication came late in Ken's disease when we introduced Comtan. Ken had progressed to the point where he had to try three or four times to get out of a chair. This up and down motion not only raised his BP but it gave one of us time to get to his side to keep him from hurting himself if his BP dropped enough for him to pass out. So, we were unprepared for the day he got up on the first try, walked across the room and passed out, hitting his head on the sofa, and requiring stitches. Since we had introduced the Comtan in the hope that it would give him more mobility, we regarded this as a positive result! Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
