tom riess, Please, tell me more about the device. I have heard myself on the answering machine and it isn't pretty. I would also really like to find out some more about who could give me those injections on the east coast, though. Barb Mallut had a lot of the other symptoms as well in addition to low volume (stuttering, too fast, not getting which words to use right, etc) and she said they all corrected. I'm only on 1 1/2 25/100's 3 times a day. The new neuro I went to on Monday is increasing my Permax from 2 .25mg"s 3 times a day to 4 of them 3 times a day over a 2 week period. He said he's been involved with Mirapex "for year" in the trial period and called it a "me too drug." I suppose he meant he thinks it's no better or worse than Permax, just that certain people benefit from one and others benefit from the other one. Seems to be the case. Please let me know more about this DAF. Thanks, Bruce A.

One is through the use of Delayed Audio Feedback (DAF). This is a system whereby one hears one's own voice as one speaks but slightly delayed. This has the potential to normalize speech. If you are interested I can tell you how to rig up an ersatz DAF unit for trial. The other possibility is reducing the amount of Sinemet you are taking if you take a lot. This can be accomplished by taking Mirapex the new D3 receptor site agonist which has the potential for dramatic decreases in the amount of Sinemet you take. Regards, Tom ----------
