Ray,

I have a question I would like to ask you off the list.  Would you be so
kind as to give me your e-mail address so that I might send the question to
you privately.  My personal e-mail address is:  [log in to unmask]

Thanks so much.

Subject: Requip and RLS

Has anyone noticed the ads for Requip for Restless Leg Syndrome on TV?

I think most of the PD drugs are dangerous and make you worse.  I know they
work well for some people.  I also wonder if potential RLS patient users
know that Requip is a PD agonist.

When I was in CA a lady who worked at the post office had her tremor
controlled for one year with Mirapex. When I last saw her we touched shaking
hands.  She had to retire early because she  was vomiting at work   from
Sinemet.  At that time we shared an arrogant, fascist-like neurologist who
was very "aggressive" on drug treatment. If you saw him you had to follow
his orders.  He kept people waiting for hours in his waiting room, I swear
some had been there from the day before.
I think my drug-phobias are well-founded.
