---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 26 May 1995 09:20:04 -0500 From: Charles Meyer <[log in to unmask]> To: Barbara Patterson <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Welcome I am a 50 year old physician (psychiatrist) from Madison WI. with the diagnosis of PD when I was 44. I currently am still practicing although I am beginning to reduce my workload. I would be interested in communicating with other physicians as to their special problems being on both ends of the patient MD relationship. I treat a number of PD patients for psychiartric issues related to their illness. In addition, I am interested in other's experience with entacapone and other COMT inhibiters. I have been a subject in a study and have had generally good results in decreasing the frequency and duration of my off times but with the trade-off of increased dyskinesia. The interference of protein in the effectiveness of L-DOPA has been a problem for me and I would like to hear about other's experiences with that. I will be traveling to Europe in about 6 weeks and would like to hear how others have coped with the time change. We have an extremely active PD support group in Madison and I hope this INTERNET support group can help link us to other groups around the world. I am excited to have the opportunity to participate. This reply is to you Barb, but may be posted if appropriate. Charles T. Meyer, MD [log in to unmask] MADISON, WI.
