Audrey, My mother Joyce (70) was diagnosed with PD 2/97 and rediagnosed with an MSA disease (striatonigral degeneration) 9/98. You said that Richard's symptoms involve his eyes, neck, and head especially. What exactly do you mean? My mother's neck is involved, too, so much so that she has a huge hump, is lopsided and her head flexd is severe (her head is bent down to her chest). I would be interested in his diagnosis.My mother also has extreme slowness, rigidity, and slight tremor. She can use a walker but is in the wheelchair more and more. She does respond to SInemet, Requip, and Artane, which seem to help. Her progress is fast. Please write to me if you wish. Good luck with Richard. Debbie White [log in to unmask] > -----O
