In addition to a similar treatment philosophy as my original neuro she is very big in the Parkinson's community. However, I'm not happy. I don't like her bedside manner. I'm not saying it's bad. I just don't like it. I gather she has thousands of patients who adore her. I've recently developed a whole new (potential) Parkinson's symptom that is preventing me from driving. She gave me orders for a bunch of tests and sent me on my way. She didn't explain the suspected cause or whether there was any way to deal with it. I'm sitting here wondering if I will ever drive again. I've scoured the internet but I've seen no mention of it. So it looks like I too will be mounting a search again. It's awful. I've got to find someone who is both competent and who can get along with a crochety old guy and his annoyed wife. Actually, I should count my blessings. I changed jobs about a year and a half ago. I went from a one hundred person company to a 165,000 persson company that is meticulous in its dealings with diversity including ADA'ers. Three and one half more years I will be entitled to a pension. That pension and the 12 bucks I have saved will make for a tolerable retirement. Sorry, I didn't me to ramble on. When I get back from vacation, I'm going to casually keep my eyes open for a new neuro. PD Meds: Mirapex approx 2mg /day, Sinemet 8x25/100 /day, Gabapentin approx 1 lb. Tons of supplements.
