I have been asked to post this question by my girlfriend's father, who is an MD, and whose wife suffers from Parkinsons Disease. She is a 70-year-old female with a 15 year history of Parkinsons Disease who is treated with carbidopa-levodopa (sinemet) in low dosage, plus L.depryl. An increasingly symptomatic complication is postural hypotension. What features would distinguish between Shy-Drager Syndrome and carbidopa-levodopa induced postural hypotension? If anyone can offer any advice about this question, we would be most grateful. Thank you. ______________________________________________________________ Edward J.
