Re: Your mail


To Mya Marsh-- two thoughts, forwhat they're worth.  Stress DOES VERY
DEFINITELY increase PDsymptoms. Also, you might want to ask his neurol-
ogist who diagnosed him if, since he doesn't respond to Sinemet, it is
possible he may have a variation of PD--one of the several "Parkinson's Plus"
versions.  One distinguishing characteristics is that  these do NOT respond
to the PDmeds.  I hope he is seeing a neurologist who has a lot of PD patient
experience, a movement disorder specialist, if available where he lives.
The diagnosis can be quite tricky. Good luck--
