TO: J.R. Bruman: Thanks for sharing the information about the various medications that we may learn about. I plan to take a printout to my next appointment with the neurologist. If he proposes adding or dropping a medication, at least I will be able to relate a brand name with the generic name. And then search "our" archives for personal experiences. Although we have several dictionaries, of all sizes. often I am unable to find one of the words used in discussing Parkinsons. Very common examples: akinesia, dyskinesis, dysatonias, bradykinesia. Have you considered providing the net with an abridged glossary of medical terms or lay expressions explaining pd symptoms, side effects, etc. - which are often discussed? It would be very helpful to many care-givers who have little contact with the medical professionals as well as many of us who have pd and can't remember the definitions. Lee A.
