FW: Male sexual arousal and PD drugs

[Barbara Mallut <Barb_MSN@xxxxxxx>]

Uhhhhh..... I think it's just wonderful that alla youse Parkie-mens is getting
aroused by these prescribed aphrodisiacs <sic> yer being forced to take
several times a day! (grinning)   I sure hope you're not single! <hate to
waste a good thing>

NOW... what 'bout us WIMMINS with PD, huh?  Over the years, I've only taken
Sinemet, which hasn't done a thing for my love life one way or the other (it
WOULD prolly help to have a permanent fella in my life to use as a test
subject, tho) <wee smirk>.  Should I push Kaiser (my HMO) into getting Mirapex
on their formulary NOW as opposed to next month.... errrrrrrr... to make up
for lost time? (so to speak)

Or is this "bonus effect" from some PD drugs only a "male-type-thing?" (Barb
stamps her foot and demands equal benefits for wimmins!) <giggle>

Sorry, Jake. If your experience with mirapex is like mine, they may have
to keep you in a cage.  Compared to parlodel, which I took before the
three years I was on mirapex (pramipexole), the latter is a more potent
aphrodisiac.
