Yes Maryse, my father agrees. It gives him some hope as it does his family. Even a mild would make a difference to his quality of life. We have however started on the lowest dose for 2 hours first day, 5 hours second and so on. Of course, I had tried repeatedly for help from a Neuro, but we have been told that if you fail Levodopa then you should just give up. In any case I would really appreciate any references to the trials you mention. Any previous credible study would be taken very seriously in the absence of a Neuro guiding us.

Some say it does improve and others had to stop due to secondary effects-nervousness, lack of sleep, etcmaryse----------------------------------------------------------------------To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] 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
