Andrew, have you checked with your neurologist to get
his/her opinion on this? That should be your first step, I
think, because it might alleviate your worries. If you can't
schedule a visit soon, you might like to try e-mailing your
question to a PD specialist. There are three you could try:
1) Dr. Abraham Lieberman,
a leading specialist in Parkinson's disease, answers
e-mails at no charge on the National Parkinson Foundation
website at:
http://www.parkinson.org/
Scroll down the page to:
Ask Dr. Lieberman, NPF Medical Director
Click on this, and follow the directions. You can then
e-mail your concerns to Dr. Lieberman. He usually answers
within 48 hours.
2) University of Cincinnati, Case Western Reserve
U., and Ohio State U. Click on the Ask an Expert section,
then click on Parkinsons in the list of diseases. Dr. Arif
Dalvi, a specialist in PD, usually answers within two days.

3)Parkinson's Disease Foundation's website -- Ask the Expert
http://www.pdf.org
May take 2-3 days
My very best regards to you and your wife,
Kathrynne
