I used neupro patches, and I looked like a quilt. I apparently had an allergy to patches and/or adhesives though I have no other known allergies. I went off them with the doctor's permission, and I actually feel better. They did not extend the on time of my meds. And when I went back to Mirapex the on time was not reduced. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ariela" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 1:27 AM Subject: Fwd: Rotigitine patches > am forwarding a query posted on another parkinson's list (and have invited > jeff to join.... :) > > thanks, > ariela > > ==== > > ----- Start Forwarded Message ----- > Sent: Mon, 17 Dec 2007 22:39:08 -0000 > From: "vjledoux" <[log in to unmask]> > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [No borders for Parkinsondisease] Rotigitine patches > > This is a question to anyone on the rotigitine patches...I've been > using them for about 2-3 months seem to stretch my off times out to > where I am taking less than half of the mirapex daily on my way to no > miripex....One of the side affects of the patch is that it may cause > skin irritation....Irratation was the first things that I noticed... > The burns and blisters was the second thing that I noticed..If i could > have known that this would happen...I would have laid them out in such > a pattern that I could have played checkers on my body...My local > Doctor thinks Im allergic to the adhesive...Anybody else experiencing > the same prob.????????Now I have to get off them slowly...just > finished detoxxing the miripex...have to go back to full strength on > them then back to the MAYO in AZ> > > Jeff LeDoux > 907-486-6548 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: > mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
