> 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
 .Two
of the best sites on medicine and parkinsons that ive run into in a long
time. Thanks again for your time.  Yours Andrew.
