Hi Barb MSN, It's Shirley. I have a few questions maybe you can answer.If I type a little like Don MC please read between the lines. Since I left the list and returned I have been there and not totely back. That Neuro I went to said he doesn't think I have PD. Well after these past 2 wks. I'm going to make him eat his words. I called him Yesterday and insisted that I know the results of my blood work on thyroid and anema. Instead of waiting till 2-4 he said to come in This Fri. Questions: If you ontertwine your fingers and put the thumb tips together and they go nuts,A big symptum?? If true what would be the first Med. that should be given ?? I don't want to be throwing up and all that good stuff. Also I got on the list at Iowa City for the movement disorder clinic. Probably won't git in there till April but at least my name is on the list.
