The Star certainly gets around!  Their headline and "story" are very
misleading.  No new miracle.  The medication that has made a difference for
him, appears to be an agonist  A former MD of his was interviewed the other
day on TV and while he did not say this was what Fox was taking (issues of
patient privacy) the discussion certainly suggested that.  He talked about
agonists serving to "smooth out" some of the PD symptoms and side effects of
other meds.  If so, the containment of Fox's dyskensia has been significant.
I suspect it is not quite that simple. Anyone else have such dramatic
results?
