Kathleen * * * Mornin' Kathleen, Don't get too scared! These dudes are just speculatin' that a side effect of years of some drugs may contribute to Alzheimer's-like symptoms... I saw the article and posted it for all to see as part of Parkinson's awareness... No intent on anyones part to scare anyone... but, if this is true, maybe it will be prudent, in the future, to take an alternate drug.... Sooo... don't be scared and keep right on readin' and askin' questions... that's what this forum is all about... cheers ....... murray ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
