Rose- and Bernie, I presume that Bernie was talking about me- Losing the Super Bowl's MVP Desmond Howard as a free agent to Oakland has stopped the dancing as has my Freezing (not related to temperature). But on a more serious note Rose- the cheese effect I think that you are referring to is the effect when one takes a certain type of antidepressant (MAOI) and then eats aged cheese processed meats or certain other foods causing a severe and rather sudden increase in blood pressure. How this relates to PD is that Eldepryl is in that group although in the doses we take it the cheese effect is usually not a problem. It usually takes about 30 mg / day of Eldepryl to trigger the "cheese effect". The usual dose for PD is 5-10 mg/day. I think this is what you are referring to and hope that this has been helpful.
