Carmilla- The original message that you sent to Norma contained the reference 
to PD+ syndromes.  Since I am new to this guessing game, could you tell me what 
these syndromes are?  Thanks for explaining what may be the obvious.  Gene.

Dear Norma---I assume you are aware that PD meds do not "work" for patients
who have one of the PD+ syndromes.  Has he been evaluated for that ?  Has
he seen a Movement Disorders Specialist  (MDS)neuro?  Your signature does
not show Gordie's age or age at time of diagnosis, BTW, and those are  very
helpful in knowing how to respond to questions/problems.
Just a thought----
