DA's, if well tolerated, seem to be a good choice. There is nothing sacred about levo/cabo. What works for the patient is important. I think that the increasing med.'s with time is caused by the decreasing production and use of dolphime by the body. In my case DA's nearly kill me, really. Sleeping, sleeping while driving, extreme compulsive behavior, and confusion. Dolphime has the same problems, but to a much less degree.Add Provigle and I can stay awake and act somewhat normal. No amount of any med. had ever touched my tremors. Only bilateral dbs, may 2002, has controlled that. DBs did not lower my need for med.'s. Total use of med.'s went up after dbs and twice since then. Even though I hate DR.'s and loathe hospitals I appreciate the huge difference that science has made for me. By the way, what is privacy? They won't give my wife my medical records but leave me in the hall in my under shorts for two hours. Change the word privacy to intimacy and answer this again. They try to do something with the body but ignore mind and spirit. oh no, I am in trouble again. I had better go lurk. gwc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
