I am in excellent hands where I go. My neuro. is excellent not only in terms with his Movement disorders knowledge but also a caring physician. I have not heard of too many physicians who have those two qualifications. Not to mention other professional qualifications that he has. Thank you thought for your concern. I appreciate that you took your time to tell me about the new drug. Angel [log in to unmask] GO TRIBE!!! --
