My father is a PWP and I have been lurking on the list for some months
to educate myself and my family. I need some help from your vast
resources. My father is 72 and lives in northwestern Ohio. He had been
on tasmar and sinemet. It had helped him tremendously. My mother
reports that he was getting out on his own, going to the grocery store,
getting hair cuts etc. Due to the recent scare his neuro told him to
stop with the tasmar. He was on sinemet only for approximately 2-3
weeks and has just had a liver test that was OK. He is having
difficulty getting out of bed and has taken to sitting in his favorite
chair most of the day now. He will not go out much at all. His neuro
started him on mirapex (spelling?) along with sinemet Friday. Now my
questions:
1. What has been your experiences with mirapex?
2. What side effects does mirapex have?
3. Is there a web sit ewhere I can get mirapex info to share
with my family?
4. His neuro is in Toledo and never mentioned having the liver test
until the recent scare. We are thinking about looking for a new DR.
Any suggestions of DR's in Toledo, Columbus, Cleveland? What about
movement disorders specialists.
Thanks in advance for you help. You all seem to be a very sharing bunch
of people. You can contact me on or off the list.
