Mark, Since you're in San Francisco, i suggest you contact "The Parkinson's Institute" in Sunnyvale, CA. (408) 734-2800. At the very least, they can probably provide you with links to other placesm neurologists, etc. I don't know their policy for taking on new patients, but maybe you get your mother in. I go there (all the way up from Santa Barbara). Good luck. >I'm Mark ( [log in to unmask] ) and only this week, I received the alarming >news that my mother, age 57, has developped Parkinson's. We have relatively >little information on the disease so far, and the diesease has seemed to only >have a serious effect on my mother over the past year, and has progressed to >a chronic back problem and arthritis - like conditions. Recently, it popped >up as a spell of lost balance, and so, after all this time, and with the >disease "hiding" under the auspices of arthritis, it was finally diagnosed >for what it was. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Peace from the Clouds" \--*MH*--/ Jeffrey Romanyshyn Email: [log in to unmask] "Myth Hawk" 28/Diagnosed 3yrs/Sinemet CR 2x/Sinemet 10/100 as morning booster and as needed/Eldepyrl 5mg 1x/NADH 2x/Rolfing (Deep Body Massage/Lift Weights-Cycle--4-5 times per week "Every child is an artist.
