Dear Ivan-- you might try posting the question to one or both of these
websites from my resource list:
>>>>>>>>
"This website is maintained by the U. of Cincinnati , Case Western Reserve
U., and Ohio State U.
Among other things, you can ask questions of doctors in many specialties.
The URL is http://www.netwellness.org/
Ask Dr. Arif Dalvi (Peter's neuro) about PD. Click on the Ask an Expert
section, then click on Parkinsons in the list of diseases. You'll get a
brief answer in a couple of days."
********
ALSO
"This page of the NPF website is a good place to get
information, similar to the Ask An Expert page on the NetWellness site I
have recommended. Please make use of it when you are curious, need info to
prepare for a neuro appointment, etc.
http://www.parkinson.org/drindex.htm
It is simple to "join", and you can also read messages without joining.
When you search for a word, you will get a list of mssages, and if you
highlight one and click on "view message" it will appear."
