On the subject of deciding about tablets, I have a very good relationship with my Doctor (We call them GPs) and my Neurologist : My neurologist advises me on which drugs to take (and so far I have always taken his advice), My GP, who has to write out the prescription for the drugs, admits quite cheerfully that I am the expert on which Parkinson's drugs to take, and how much, so I tell him how many I want, and he writes it down. Of course, it took time for this level of confidence to be established, but I am sure it is the best way to work. -- Brian Collins <[log in to unmask]>
