My 2-cents plain: What is the status of your PD? How badly do you need symptom relief? Are you trying to continue to work? It's a balancing exercise: you must weigh the pros and cons, benefit vs side effects, and so on. Tell us what, how much and how often you have taken or are taking for PD. I have no way to factor in your heart condition and/or meds, but I/we may be able to give some ideas about the PD. I don't have access to my medical web sites right now, or I would recommend several excellent ones to check out all your meds. But your doctors should help you out there--don't everybody laugh and scream at once LOL, I doctors don't always take the time to check meds out thoroughly or at all. You can check out the PIEN archives also. Sorry I can't be of more help with addresses right now.

My last echo (August 6th) shows significant deterioration. My ejection fraction time is 20% but for the most part am asymptomatic. Will probably need a transplant. Is there any connection with PD and/or PD meds and the heart? Am not currently taking anything for PD although i have tried 5 different drugs, side effects too much to handle.
