Dear Ellen, I have been telling my doctors in Phila. for 11 years that my pills don't work as well during my menses, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. I went so far as to pose that question to a female neurologist and got no definitive answer. I'm so glad that I found someone who agrees with me. My name is Paula Shook from Pennsylvania - diagnosed when I was 37....symptoms since 35...now 48.....had DBS 10/30/00. Paula P.S. I haven's hit menopause yet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "(Ellen) (Luhman)" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 9:32 AM Subject: Re: Parkinson's and Menopause > Thank you for the information.
