Hi, I've just joined the list. My mother, 81, has had Parkinson's type B for about 15 years, and has spent the last decade on Sinemet. At the moment, she is in hospital for the second time in two months--delusions and falling down stairs. Now she is delusional and has a cracked sternum. She's also taking Tasmar. She tried Mirapex, and Mirapex together with Tasmar, but was taken off Mirapex after her first hospitalization. So, things are getting messy. We have sold her house--the closing is early November, and her retirement apt. is waiting for her--if she still physically qualifies. I'm hanging by the telephone, waiting for a call from her neurologist. I'm anxious to read the posts here, for support, information, the possibility of a pallidotomy for her. Cheers, Joel Sturm
