Miriam and others I strongly recommend finding not only a good neurologist (I have seen 3 and found one I really like) but perhaps even more importantly find a good pharmacist. The pharmacist holds your life in his hands. He/she is the one who will check for interactions of drugs. With so many things being perscribed for the PD if you have anything else wrong, you could be devtated. I was recently diagnosed as also having Gout. I hate it. I do not fit the profile, however I have it. Luckily the anti-inflamitory for gout does not interact with my PD meds, HOWEVER, my pharmacist refused to fill the perscription for pain med (vicodin) and told me that as long as I take eldepryl I will not be able to take any of the opiate pain killers, and many others as well. There is a possible life threatening interaction between these pain killers and eldepryl. In fact I was told that I probably should only use Tylenal and nothing else (especially asperian types) Again, next to your neurologist the most important medical person you may have is your pharmasist.
