Brenda, read ur posting on the Turkey,  vry interesting.
 
About the docs....go to the best PD specialist you can find....anywhere.   In
reality,  you probably will not have more than 2 or 3 visits a year so a
little travel shouldnt be a problem compared to the specialized knowledge he
will offer.
 
Re the meds we all take...everyones a completely different PD case.  No two
are the same. Almost..but not the same.  Ive noticed here that 95% of us who
go the the PD specialist take basically the same meds.   Those who go to non
specializing neurologist or dont have access to big city Movement Disorder
facilities take a wide variety of different meds.  Sinemet is the "gold
standard" as u say but how much how often is purely experimental until you
(think) you've found the rite amount and then...OOPS...time for a change.
 Thats our life.
 
Good luck and you're amongst a great and very smart group of folks.
 
cheers
