My husband has this problem and I'm glad that you said that it could come from a time when medicine is at it's peak. I'll have to watch that and see if that maybe the case. Thanks to all the support folks out there give,I've been on about 2 weeks and have just sit back and observed the articles.I'm a care-giver and co-president of our support group with my husband. We are having a very good program(Terri Whitling from Emory) today. The lady has had a pallidotomy and now stays with pateints during pallidotomy.. If you like I'll give an update on what is happening at Emory later today. We have a Support Group in the Chattanooga area with almost 200 members from TN,Ga. and Al. Of course there are many who do not come but, we have a newsletter that goes out every month to keep them posted on the major events for our group. Anyone on-line in the area is welcome to join,We meet the 1st Sunday of the month 2P.M. at Siskin Hospital. We do take a break during July, and August for a little respite. My husband has been diagnosed with PD for about the last 6 years and I can see a gradual worsening of the symptoms. He is on Sinemet Cr, Elderpryl, and Parlodel. Has been tried on Permax but a bad reaction to it. We have a very good lady DR. who is very interested in her patients and does a good job. My husband's name is John. Thanks for letting me ramble on' Charlotte Falkowski 1348 Pleasant Grove Rd. SW McDonald,TN. 37353-6030
