Hello again, Well, after nearly 3 months without meds (except a few sinemet for emergency conditions) I went to my neuro yesterday. He said I could be called a med failure because I am too sensitive to side effects from the meds. So, for the first time in 5 years, he talked to me about surgery. Scary, at least for me. I am still not ready for that step. But, the fact that he talked to me about it, is scary for me. To know that I cannot take the meds out there, and eventually the only answer (unless the cure is found) will be surgery, gives me nightmares. Just a few thoughts. Marling McReynolds
