Hi: I should not meddle in this, but I worry about people who get into a tizzy and gad about to find out what to do about PD. If you get an answer from each of us on the list, you would need to statiscally determine the best approach for your case. Looking around just the small number of people in our support group, I can see the wide divergence and degree in the disease and the variety of therapy available. I am absolutely convinced that the treatment for my wife is strictly up to the neurologist. The information we get from this listing is good, but it helps me only in finding out about new therapies, pharmaceutical and/or medical, that we can discuss, and occasionally bring about THROUGH our neurologist. Good luck...............................Michel Margosis
