Daphne: (17 Mar 97) Regarding Hytrin: I was given Hytrin by a urologist, for a cond- ition similar to that of your hushand, about a year before being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. It caused a severe tremor like that of PD, so I quit immediately. The urologist's diagnosis of prostate obstruction turned out to be false, although he did at one time admit that the hesitation and retention might have a "neuro- genic component". In hindsight, what we saw may have been the first visible symptom of PD- On the other hand, after I was diagnosed with PD I strongly suspected that Hytrin may have triggered it. I diligently searched the literature for any report of a similar incident, and I think I later inquired in the present forum, but never found anything. For what it's worth, Joe J. R.
