Thanks for the info, doc. We will definitely start charting this and bring it up with our neuro. in Feb at our next appt. Also, he sees a yellow "donut" when his blood pressure is low and he is passing out or coming to from the low bp. He did have an MRI a couple years ago, and it showed nothing unusual. DX with PD Spring 2005. Oh, so THAT'S what has been going on!
