And the vitamins is just to make up any missing by a poor diet. Make sure you have a good movement disorder specialist who can advise you in treating you with advancing PD. Indeed, PD always advances and never regresses, though it may be slowed by legitimate (i.e. scientifically approved) therapy. Don't be swayed by nutty professors. Drugs are bad when used by the wrong people for wrong reasons, otherwise they may help one to walk or to talk from the heart rather than from purse. I wish ice cream were good for PD; Barbara would have been cured if this were so, because she is addicted to the stuff. But were it not for Sinemet, Barbara would likely be bedridden for a long time. Our neurologist believes in using the minimum amount of medication to bring the patient to near normal functionning, knowing that it can be a difficult task because of the side effects due to overmedication, and when a patient is between 80 and 90 lbs. (36-40 Kg), it is easy to overmedicate. ton ami Michel Margosis 'Carpe Diem' --------------D561A9E62CB190AD150274BB Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE>Fleurette says:</PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE>You have described my outlook on PD - don't start the medication too soon - I take hormones, vitamin C and E, and one encoded aspirin at night - some days it is difficult to type.
