John, when I lived in CA a lady that worked at the post office was on Mirapex which controlled her tremor for a year. When we met we touched shaking hands. I hate all PD meds and understand that tremor is the most difficult PD symptom to control. Only DBS stopped that. I know these meds work wonders for some people, Sinemet helped me on the first dose, but cannot understand how they passed the Pure Food and Drug Administration's rigid standards, ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "john mcintosh" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 4:03 AM Subject: Re: Mirapex > Don't look for anything drastic.
