Sorry NH gal.. My neurologist is also a movement disorder specialist.. So far he's only prescribed medications for my PD.. He's at Cleveland Clinic.. Not sure when I'll need him to look into my other problems.. I try to keep busy and stay flexible.. Laying on the couch and watching Tv doesnt work at all.. The last thing my neurologist did was add one tablet 0.5 mg RASAGLINE every morning.. That one tablet has done wonders for me.. I still take my CARBO/LEVO every 4 hours..,.. I dont know how long this will last but I'm happy to have my life back for now.. I hope someone out there can add Rasagline and it'll work for them too.. It takes 3 to 4 weeks to kick in so stick with it ..It's been a long time since I've felt this good... I've been able to cut back 1 tablet on the Carbo/Levo.

Yes, Boston would be closer since I live an hour away from the city. I'll add you to my team. Thank you!

Yes, it's about 15 miles south of Boston. I seem to remember when I saw him last, that he does work out of MGH/BW as well. If Boston is more convenient, give them a call.
