Is it true that the only hospital that has a definitive test for Parkinson's is in Atlanta? My husband was diagnosed by a Parkinson's Institute neurologist in Miami two years ago. He has a tremor in his right hand, but no other symptoms, other than some lulu nightmares. Well, that and sometimes he has to clear his throat a few times to get the words out. He takes one 25/100 of Carbidopa/Levo four times a day, 5 mg. of Eldepryl once a day, 2 mg. Artane (1/2 three times a day), 50 mg. Zoloft twice a day, and 20 mg. Lotensin twice a day. Doesn't this seem like an awful lot of medicine? He's only 51 years old. What are the chances he's been misdiagnosed? If he really doesn't have Parkinson's, couldn't all this medication give it to him? ***************************** * With a smile in her byte, * * [log in to unmask] * *****************************
