Hi all-- I'm thinking the disease Barb Rager's friend may have been diagnosed with is striatonigral degeneration. If I remember rightly--not a 100 percent sure bet any more--someone wrote about three months ago that he had also been diagnosed with that syndrome. If that person is still online, could you answer some of Barb's concerns? Meanwhile, I'm trying to find Jankovic's rundown on same in my files. Thanks in advance for any help. Kathy Kunz
