Sandra, your mother's symptoms are probably due to the Mirapex. That drug is famous for causing the very symptoms you describe. She would probably benefit from Sinemet instead. Encourage your doctor to discontinue the Mirapex - her symptoms are most probably *not* due to anxiety. ---------- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 68/28 with PD, died 11/20/07) www.bentwillowfarm.org ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandra Edwards" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, July 27, 2008 11:22 PM Subject: SCARED... > My Mom, 70 years old was diogn. with parkinson about 4 years ago.
