A few months ago what I thought was muscle strain from working out too hard was diagnosed as PD. Right arm is stiff and a slight limp on the right side and general slowness. I am 50 years old with no history in family. I heard of a study going on in Philadelphia concerning the role of Gangliosids in PD, asked my Neurologist about it and he said that it was THE study for a guy with mild to moderate symptoms to be in. They want you off Eldepryl for two months prior to the 4 month study. Have had two baseline days of testing and will have one more on the 20th of June. On that day I will also start the double blind study. I work in marketing for an appliance company...I have NO idea if this study will help me. But I do feel good that I am doing something that could help me and perhaps also help some of you. I think they still have a few openings left. If you live near Philadelphia and are interested I suggest that you first ask your doctor about this study and afterwards call the Study Coordinator, Ms. Jillian Crilly at 215-762-3066 for information. You will talk to her voice mail but she always returns calls as soon as she can. Go gangliosides! Bob Loeffler 32 Scottsdale Court Cranbury, NJ 08512 609-395-5546
