I've been monitoring this list for months for a co-worker. She's a wonderful young woman with two darling kids and a very supportive husband. I signed on after she told me that her mother had been diagnosed with PD. Your msgs have been a blessing to her and her family as sources of information and inspiration. Thank you. Recent posts about exposure to pesticides perhaps triggering PD have some relevance to her as her mother tended a huge garden for years. Altho they also worked int he garden, my friend and her sister were not exposed to pesticides from that source at the level of their mother. But I do have a question. Is there any way - after the fact - to reduce the possibility of harm from exposure to pesticides and other chemicals? Mainstream or safe folk medicine/methods? Also, one msg referred to someone who had Menieres for a few years before PD, and the comment was made that after Permax was added to the PD regime, the Menieres 'went away.' I have an adult daughter who has had Menieres for 12 years. I would be very inerested in comments/theories from the pharmacists/MDs/etal in our midst regarding the possibility that the Permax was directly responsible (what would be the connection?) rather than the Menieres doing what it sometimes does, i.e., go.... Again, thanks, everyone, for the enlightenment. Cindy Stringer ([log in to unmask])
