Rick, I too am a parkie, diagnosed about 41/2 yrs ago. If you don't mind me asking, what med's have you been using? Also there seems to have been a flurry of announcements in last 3, 6 MOS. about various new phase ll trials in the start up stage which appear very encouraging. It thus appears to this parkie that something is bound to be in the break thru category sometime in the next 2,3 yrs. What do you think? If anyone else has any comments plse advise.
