>Re. your visit to the meurologist, your symptoms are very similar to mine
and even the way in which your check-up was done is similar.  One big
difference though, my neurologists says its Parkinsons, not that that is any
comfort, however.  Sounds like you need a second opinion, if your HMO will
agree.  I've also called Emory University and have put myself on the waiting
list to see Dr. Ray Watts, head neurologist (expect to get in to him in the
Fall).  I am 47 years old and am getting along with the minimum meds that I
can.  I put up with the shaking on my left side, taking just enough 100/25
sinemet CR and elderpril (2X daily) to keep me mobile while minimizing the
diskinesia.

Good luck,
