Head injuries can produce parkinsonism but he can also develop something not related to head injuries. Response to ldopa is a sign of idiopathic PD but usually if there is no respnose to ldopa, agonists donīt help much either. Still, there are bizarre responses known so I hope the neurologist will find the right drug to help your father maryse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
