>this was in our news paper today. UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN OH BY THEM BEST >THERAPY CLINICS IN THE COUNTRY Really. Not from where we're sitting. Jamie went to U of M after his first neurologist gave up on him. He couldn't tolerate Sinemet (the only drug the doc prescribed). By the time we got to their clinic, Jamie had gone to another neurologist who prescribed Artane and Symmetral - and reduced his dose of Sinemet. Jamie then reviewed his med schedule and manipulated them so that he could function - with the blessing of the second neurologist. Since we already had the appointment with U of M, Jamie decided to try their clinic in hopes that they had a miracle cure we were not privy to. They didn't. In fact, the doctor who saw Jamie told him that he couldn't construct a better medication protocol if he had to and sent us on our way - to the cashier, of course - who said, $150 please. It was the biggest waste of money in Jamie's PD history. The year was 1982. Maybe things have changed. We're not going back to find out - and U of M is only 1 1/2 hours away. ------ Regards Mary Ann (CG Jamie 59/19)
