Thank you. I have been doing that. My family Dr asked for the neuro to call him so will wait and see

Jan I would involve your primary care doctor with your condition. Sometimes it can be a problem with another drug interacting with your other meds. Always keep your PCP involved in your care team. Sometimes we Parkies focus on the Parkinson's challenge to the exclusion of other medical conditions or medications. Wishing you the best.
