Re: re mirapex

[Camilla Flintermann <flintepc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sir James---if it is any help, Peter has had "nap attacks" for many
years, long before he took either Mirapex (briefly...bad for him) or
Requip, which is now takes regularly.  I suspect that the PD may be as much
to blame in his case as the meds!  :-(

Just remember that not everyone has the same experience with PD, and that
research is getting more and more funding, and  things will improve down
the road, especially for younger, newly diagnosed PWPs.  It's OK to be
scared, so long as you keep on learning!
