I had heard that good news about Ropinerole would be released this week.
 Glad to hear it.  I was also involved in the study and have been allowed to
stay on Ropinerole under a compassionate exemption from FDA.  As I have said
a number of other times, it is a wonderful drug -- at least for me.  Until a
proper informed consent form could be completed, I had to go off Ropinerole
and was placed on Permex and I had a lot of side effects (confused thinking,
some depression and SEVERE back pain (as I recall from reading a filler, this
happens to about 15%.  All of this went away when I got back on Ropinerole.
 I have the customary sleep problems (falling asleep during day and not at
night), puffy ankles. , etc. -- but no on or off problems and my condition
has not deteriorated much over the past 3 years.  tremor in left hand. some
drooling.  customary aches have been diminished by working out and massages.
 I have been interested in the notes about diabetes.  I was a borderline
diabetic before and that seems to be worsening -- but I do not blame
Ropinerole for that.  Can't taste much or smell much and sugar has been too
inviting.    I am on glucotrol 2.5 mg X 2 and my last blood test was high and
so my regimen may change.  In any event, hurrah for Ropinerole and I pray
that all of you can benefit from it. PettifogJS. @ AOL Com  (Jack Stanfield,
