I am the person who was asking about pregnancy and drugs etc but at 46 years old it was not for me, but for another YAPP&Rs ( young onset PWP in the UK)! My child bearing days are thankfully finished and I am greatfful that the children are now 21,19 and 16! The feed back was very positive and several people came forward who had had children whilst on PD drugs. None of the drug companies, however, would commmit themselves and said that as PD was not really a young persons disease there was not much data on pregnancy! However, if you send me your snail mail address, I will forward you what I managed to find out! Best of luck to you both regards Emma At 20:05 12/07/97 -0400, you wrote: >On Fri, 11 Jul 1997 18:38:41 -0400 hiredgun <[log in to unmask]> writes: >>Hi, My name is Rich.
