When I saw this article on the use of the anti-rejection drugs in treating degenerative brain diseases, I had some of the same thoughts as others in this group. If they even think this is a possibility, why can't they just go ahead and give it to PWP instead of years of testing? I believe your doctor *could* prescribe these drugs for you if he could be convinced to do so. First of all, these are not illegal drugs, they are already on the market. Second, if doctors can go willy-nilly giving PWP drugs such as risperdal, which are clearly noted by the manufacturer should NOT be given to PWP, why can't they just go ahead and prescribe anti-rejection drugs for their PD patients?
