To respond to the question about ADHD in families with PD, my father-in-law's family, 75/8, has no such history to my knowledge. Also, is anyone familiar with the report on the drug GDNF, developed by Amgen, that appeared in the Wall Street Journal on March 21, 1996. My mother-in-law asked me to post this question to ya'll. The article says that GDNF "appears to reverse the disease's progression." We continue to treat Bud with ECT and Sinemet, we actually have seen a considerable improvement since his last treatment three days ago. But he definitely slips after 10-14 days. I think it helps with his depression as much as with the PD. They return to NY (Long Island) in about three weeks, so we're full of anxiety and hope that there will be no digression. We're also hopeful that the eye surgery my mother-in-law will complete tomorrow restores some of her vision. Thanks for being there. Keith
