Ken B > Yes and No Ken, I did go through Hypnotherapy a number of years ago, because I spent more time picking myself up, than doing anything else. However, at that time,the Un. of Miami (FLA.) was still calling my problem Cerebellar Degeneration. My psychologist, who was also a registered hypnotherapist, decided that since there wasn't any medication for CD, this balance problem I had, would have to be helped with hypnosis, or I'd have to go into a wheelchair soon. It did help considerably, and I haven't fallen since Feb. 19, 1996. I'm not so certain the psychologist would have been willing to have done hypnotherapy, for a specific disorder, which does have medicines available. The one thing I can honestly say about waiting 5 years for them to FINALLY arrive at the correct diagnosis, is that I have NEVER had a problem with Sinemet, I think I needed it so badly, my body felt relieved to have some help. I know I certainly did. As Ever, Marjorie Moorefield just another librarian with PD, 64/9
