Carmilla- The original message that you sent to Norma contained the reference to PD+ syndromes. Since I am new to this guessing game, could you tell me what these syndromes are? Thanks for explaining what may be the obvious. Gene.

Dear Norma---I assume you are aware that PD meds do not "work" for patients
who have one of the PD+ syndromes. Has he been evaluated for that ? Has
he seen a Movement Disorders Specialist (MDS)neuro? Your signature does
not show Gordie's age or age at time of diagnosis, BTW, and those are very
helpful in knowing how to respond to questions/problems.
Just a thought----
