Dear friends-- Just read the post from our "resident" pharmacist, Dominic Marchese cautioning about using Benadryl without checking with one's doctor. Dominic joined the list last year after he spoke to our local support group. Today we again had the pleasure of hearing from him, and "picking his well-stocked brain" about PD and over the counter meds. I intended to send him thanks here, but his post got here first! Dominic is a registered pharmacist who works for Athena Pharmaceuticals, but he is not here to sell products---he is very knowledgable and shares his expertise, but isn't afraid to say so when he can't answer a question . Great combination! If other Ohio support groups (I think that's his territory) want a good speaker for a meeting, I recommend him, and you can reach him by email to see if he's available--OK Dominic? <[log in to unmask]> And thanks again for your instructive discussion with the Oxford group today.
