diagnosed PD Dec l994 @ age 63 2nd opinion Nov 95 w/
Dr Reich @ Johns hopkins. Take Eldepryl 5mg x 2 per
day. Tried Sinemet & if take more than l/2 tablet of
25/l00 it causes nausea & "weird" feeling. Don't see
any improvement w/sinemet anyway. What are the
advantages and/or disadvantages of adding either/or
Pariodel? or Symmetrel? My symptoms are less
dexterity in left hand and "awkward walking"
I have personal trainer for balance & flexibillity
which helps greatly. My left hip feels like it needs
a shot of WD40 until I exercise it out - would that
be caused by the rigidity of PD? Any info will be
greatly appreciated. How about the new Pramixapole
due out this summer - would that be a good combo w/
the Eldepryl?

diagnosed w/PD Summer 86' 53 yes old. was accepted as candidate for Palodotomy at Miami University. One doctor
recommended I try Artane. It has made a difference. I also take sinemet, & permax. Anyone out there who has had a
Palodotomy? They are now offering it in Orlando.
