Hello everyone, I signed on a few weeks ago and want to express my gratitude to all of you for your open sharing. As I stated in my opening letter to all, I am a friend of a person with PD (72/2). I have been copying your letters and sending them to him as he does not have a computer and was thrilled to know there is this group. I spoke with John a few days ago and he (unbenownst to me) has been having hallucinations since uping his dose of Permax (3 caps with each meal). He also takes Sinemet (unknown amount) and also told me he suffers from leg cramps off and on. Up to this point, his major concern was the shaking of his hands. The doctors have tried time and time again to up his Permax, and each time he has very bad reactions. I felt badly, not knowing he was going through all this (I see him infrequently as he lives a distance away) so I did not send him pertinent letters you all had written on those subjects - only those I knew he was going through. I vaguely remember some mention of the hallucinations with Permax and would very much appreciate if someone could reply once again (my apologies) so that I can print your reply and mail to him. Also, I mentioned to him that I saw something about a PD specialist in Calif. bay area (is this right). Does anyone have any specifics, as his dr. is not real well versed in PD. Thank you all for your patience in this redundant request. And thanks from John -he expresses his gratitude for the information you provide. Kathy [log in to unmask]
