Hello List: I have just joined the list and would like to introduce myself and also inquire if anyone on the list has had similar experiences with their Parkinson symptoms. I am a 67 yr old male who was diagnosed about 2 years ago with what the neurologist called Early Parkinson's. I have had some very interesting experiences, in consultations with physicians, that sometimes have posed questions in my mind as to their competence in dealing with PD. Perhaps I will elaborate on that at a future date if there is any interest.. My primary question at the moment is if any PD patients (I refuse to refer to the word victims) on the list have suffered from excessive dry mouth symptoms and if so I am particular interested if they were taking Requip when that symptom or symptoms occurred. I only wish that I had discovered this forum or list much earlier. I am sure that it would have allayed a lot of uncertainty. I am beginning to be convinced that mental attitude can amplify many of the symptoms of PD, particularly in the early stage. If any other patients on the list would care to e-mail me directly, I would be very pleased to exchange information, ideas, and experiences. Warm regards to all Murphy ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
