Hi, This is my first time writing to the list, as I just recently joined. I am so grateful for all of you out there, as I have been searching for a long time on the web to find anything helpful. I had to quit my job as a nurse a few years back because of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (it's very real) and began studying the use of herbs. This came from necessity because I had adverse reactions to all pharmaceuticals. Since then, my husband and I began a mail order business and have met some incredible people searching for alternatives or complementary ways for their health. One of those people has Parkinson's - he and I have now become very good friends - and I am determined to provide him with as much information as possible. I have made copies of several of your letters to pass on to him, as he does not have a computer so can not communicate with you himself. One of the things he is very strong in desiring is some herbal therapies to help him with many of the symptoms. He is taking Permax and keeps having problems with being too sleepy and "out of it" even on low doses. Do any of you have any herbal treatments you have tried that seem to help. All the traditional herbs we have tried are making very little difference. He is open to anything that may be of help while still taking his Permax. Thank you to those of you who share your insights/experiences so that I can pass them on to him - as you know it can be pretty lonely out there dealing with this.
