Comments. > > Andrew [log in to unmask] > > livedo recticularis Paul Id like to thank you for your response to my request for information on drug reaction to amantadine. Ive since found out through a little hunting my self that this could indead be a reaction to (symmetrel) It could also be a number of other things, lets hope not (my attempt at humour)lol.The Parkinsons glossary defines livedo reticulularis as " A purplish or bluish mottling of the skin seen usually below the knee and sometimes on the forarm in persons under treatment with the drug amantadine (symmetral) I have discontinued the use of this medication for the momentand hope to see results soon.Will keep you updated. Now for your reward.Try www.vh.org or http://dir.yahoo.com/health/diseases_and_conditions/parkinson_s_disease .Two of the best sites on medicine and parkinsons that ive run into in a long time. Thanks again for your time. Yours Andrew.
