Hi Diana, I don't post here much anymore but I do still lurk. I take Baclofen and it is wonderful. It has tremendously helped my muscle spasms and pain. Here is a link to the RxList info about it: http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/baclofen.htm Here are some links where you can find out more about SND http://www.emedicine.com/NEURO/topic354.htm http://accessible.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/striatonigral_degeneration.htm Also, if you write me off-list, I will provide you with information about support and information groups for people with this type of PD+ syndrome. Keep your chin up and take one day at a time.

This Dr. Sid Gilman changed my diagnosis (happily for me) of multiple system atrophy to striatonigral degeneration, which I gather is one of the disorders there is not much known about. He recommended titrating me off of Mirapex and I'm already off of Sinemet but did recommend, I believe, the drug Baclofen, which I am not familiar with. If anyone out there is familiar with Baclofen or striatonigral degeneration, I would really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, Diana _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
