Re: WHAT IS PARKINSONS PLUS? There is a wealth of info in the list archives about these "PD-like" conditions, which are often at first mistaken for PD. There are some 7 or 8 of them,I think. In JOhn Cottinghams useful list of frequently asked questions to which answers may be found in the archives,you will find a 4-part document which will tell you more than you need to know about this!(Part1= # 2553, part2= #2552,part 3= #2551,part 4= #2550 ) There is a lso a document,#2553, which lists the symptoms of PD+ conditions. In general, they do not respond well to Sinemet. Take a look---and if you didn't SAVE John's list, you can ask him for it-- he reposts it periodically.
