Emily, thank you so very much for your kind concern. I sense you are like me, you want to find solutions and make things right, which may not be possible. I hate to belabor my point re Drs... but there are only so many things they can offer. I can't afford to fall asleep at the wheel of my car while on an agonist that doesn't work, or keep taking Sinemet when it keeps me from walking. I went thru all kinds of experiments with Drs I liked and trusted when I had cancer, but never again. Now, re PD, three neuros told me to hold off on Sinemet if I could. One at world famous Scripps Clinic said "PD meds are tricky". The chief honcho Movement Disorder guy in San Diego also told me to stay away from S if I could and my neuro here in Murrieta said it was up to me. Another one wants you to keep piling on the drugs even if they don't work. Now what do you think they are trying to tell me? .Murray Charters will probably be the first to know when something that really works comes out and my primary care Dr. thinks I will be the first to know. None of the Drs. I"ve seen were ever "upfront' about what a PWP is getting into with PD meds. I just think we should DEMAND BETTER MEDS, HIRE SOME LOBBYISTS or it will ne decades before there is any real hope. I just think the newly diagnosed should hear another view. But hey, I'm for any med that works, or any Dr. who can help, Rayilyn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
