Default Why do they keep telling us about things we already know!

Are they sure thay haven't spent enough money or do they just want to make absolutely, with out a doubt, that we know!

Parkinson's disease treatments associated with compulsive behaviors
PhysOrg Mon, 10 May 2010 14:21 PM PDT
Pathological gambling, compulsive shopping, binge eating and other impulse control disorders appear to be more common among individuals taking dopamine agonist medications for Parkinson's disease, according to a report in the May issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

Shocked it IS frustrating...

If they don't "prove" it in a clinical trial, it isn't really factual.

and so it goes...

Cool But did they ask the patient?

Was this study based on watching fruit flies on drugs or a survey given to persons on drugs and a standard median population population?

Very Interesting, but STUPID!

Default No.

Because there is a very real possibility that the researchers studied fruit flies (science) rather than ask the patient (a less reliable method becase the wording of the survey could lead the responders answers.) Sorry the irony of the reseachers study was missed,ie. fruit flies are more scientifically reliable than the patient's view.
