I understand. I know the agonists (and levodopa) only work for a given time - I just hope it will be longer than a year for Rich. Wendy -----Original Message----- ... For a year on MIrapiex she had had no tremor and had been able to do her job at post office which involved standing on her feet and using her hands. Mirapex worked well for her for a year. I wasn't on and hadn't taken Mirapex for any length of time and we were both in same condition. The agonists don't work for everyone forever. Sorry for the confusion, but my micrographia is so bad I try to keep my msgs short. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
