The note from Donna Kipp about PD and Menopause really caught our attention. We don't get copies of the Young Parkinson Newsletter - we're really not very young - and so we haven't read the article to which she referred. Too bad the article wasn't posted a few days ago, because yesterday I had my semi-annual visit with my neurologist, and I could have asked him about it. Now I guess I'll have to phone him. I've been on Estrogen replacement therapy for at least 5 years, long before I was dxed with PD a little over 2 years ago. I've had no problems with it that I know of, and therefore I am a little apprehensive about what the article says. Is it possible that the Estrogen brought on my PD symptoms earlier than they might have appeared without it? Donna, I don't know how long the article is, but wonder if you could possibly type in the paragraph that refers to Dopamine and Estrogen. If it's too long for that, I could send you our address, and perhaps you would be willing to mail a copy of the article to us. I thought I (Lynne) would write this one, even though Jerry is the subscriber to this List. Lynne Gleason Jerry Gleason ([log in to unmask])
