Audrey-- why not the online experts:
1. 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. 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.

2. The Ask Dr Lieberman site .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.

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.

You can add another to this list: The Parkinson's Disease Foundation's
website also has an Ask the Expert section. Most questions are answered
within one business day while others may take up to two or three business
days. The site's address is: http://www.pdf.org.

>I had some disturbing news today from my pwp in Australia. He told me
>that he has felt lousy for a while. In explanation he said that both of
>his arms and back are very sore and that the area of his liver feels
>quite tender. As some may remember, he is in nuclear medicine and does
>know that this is something to be concerned about. I know that his
>doctor allows him to self medicate and adjust his meds as he sees fit.
>He told me that he has been taking sinemet, cogentin, comptan and
>premax, but I do not know his dosage as he doesnt often discuss this
>with me. I did learn that he discontinued his usage of comptan last
>week. My question is this: should he be taking comptan at the same time
>that he takes permax? I appreciate any information and suggestion or
>help that anyone can give me.
