I am at stage one of PD and take all the usual medicines sinemet, deprynyl, and permax.I also take two shots a day of Sygen, which is a neuro trophic drug (GM-1).This Sygen is an experimental drug that is provided as part of a study conducted by Dr. Jay Schneider Dept of Neurology, at Hahnemann University in Philadelphia. The results have not been dramatic, but there was and still is marked improvement in my symptoms, mainly in my walking ability, my right-side face stiffness, right hand dexterity. Part of the baseline tests and measurements was a video taken of me that was compared to the final video and this showed the physical improvement of my symptons. I was quite glad to participate in the study and I continue to take the sygen. Presently there are more studies being done at Hahnemann U. which are double- blind studies I just wanted to share this info with the newsgroup and would be glad to provide more details etc. Rob Cunningham [log in to unmask]
