You may find after you've been on the Parkinsn List that each person has a different response or side effect when taking their PD meds. For a while I was having ankle swelling and some PWP's would have the same problem when taking Symmetrel. Please feel free to ask any question you like. PD or NON-PD (example- how high is a tree? why is a circle round? can two little dogs lick one big dog?) Denny 52/58
