Barb - I usually lurk but feel compelled to tell you that I do enjoy your banter with Ken B and whoever:)) Besides there is always an enlightning tidbit or two re PD. I am sorry for your side effects with Mirapex - have you, after being off for three or four days, decide to try it again. You did not have the hallucinations like Peter did you? That was an experience I wouldn't want to have. I am on tolcapone and have the distinction of being the only one in our study group to have a side effect of diarrhea. After finally getting the right mix of tolcapone and sinement would not like to give up. So its either put up or shut up.
