Chuck & Joyce. I would like to quote a previous message sent to our list on August 12, 1995 by Zalmon Pober who teaches about PD and whose father-in-law had PD. Zalmon says "....I will shortly be unsubscribing. Before I do so, I thought I might pass on some of the things we learned in dealing with the disease. ... it was very easy for physicians to claim that all his symptoms were the result of PD...Do not be too quick to blame new or unusual symptoms on PD...When there is a rapid change, look for other causes...". Even though your 'real' neurologist is not on call this weekend, he may be reachable. I would suggest that you attempt to reach him and insist that you speak to him or take Joyce to the emergency ward and have them attempt to reach him. I am sure no one has to remind you to take her meds with you and STAY with her so that you can be sure that the treatment is suitable. Chuck & Joyce...let us know what happens...I'm sure we'll all be thinking of you this weekend...I know I will. Best of luck. Barb
