Dear Kelly and David, For what it's worth, I guess I have to intrude with my thoughts. Over and over I read about the mountainous amounts of medications some of us have to suffer each day. My gripe about all this medication is: If a problem arises, it appears to me that the doctors ADD another prescription. The problem isn't necessarily solved, it's covered up! Isn't it possible that an adjustment of current medications might solve the problem or that maybe two or more medications might not go well together? Since PD hits each one of us differently, who is to say that that same condition might not exist re medications? Could the problem also be that most patients don't get to have enough time with the doctor to really pursue causes?
