Scott
I think I understand your situation now. Are you mainly worried about
what might happen if you don't get these refills soon or are you in some
new kind of distress?
In either case, I would insist on seeing or calling your Neuro, what do you
think, Mary Ann? Surely your Neuro can work you in. Demand it!!

Subject: Re: weaing off pd meds
Let me explain what happened. in late august i fell and broke my hip.
Tried to pin it but after several weeks rehabing pins(3) broke loose.
Ortho then did a total hip replacement. operation went well but after had
some type of allergic reaction with hallutionations and all.
At this point I was under the care of the Ortho doctor and in an effort
to make a plan of attack he contacted my Nuero who informed us that she did
not have prevlidges at the hospital and would/could not come see me. At that
point the hospitalist and ortho decided to take me off some of the parki
meds. It also wasnt clear what had
caused the reaction It could be the pain of the pins coming loose, drug
interaction,or something else. Our Ortho (the only Dr we've seen)isn't
willing to prescribe the parki meds...
It will be 2 weeks until I see the neuro.....any thoughts?
