Virginia asked re: low b.p. This is very common with PD. My husband takes a 1mg Florinef tablet with breakfast daily, and that helps him. When the dose was temporarily upped to 2mg, he got swollen ankles from water retention, and no real change in b.p., so we went back to 1mg and it works welkl---for him. Ask the doctor about it?
