You might want to look up this reference I mentioned a few months ago: Giladi, N.: Neurology 1995;45:1028 Sorry, I didn't keep a copy but basically it said that cyclic menstrual hormone changes profoundly affect PD symptoms and the amount of medication needed. Evidently the problem is somewhat neglected because premenopausal onset of PD is unusual, at least to some doctors. Cheers, Joe J. R.
