you'll have a ton of questions about pd as time goes on and the first thing i did after diagnosis, after getting a 2nd opinion, was buy a reference book on parkinson's written by a pd expert, one can't always depend on message boards and medical professionals to be perfect all the time. same with any chronic disease, knowledge is power. a lot of good info and a lot of bad info can be found on health message boards, i certainly would double/triple check anything posted on any board.

i suggest THE PARKINSON'S DISEASE TREATMENT BOOK by AHLSKOG or the following:
http://www.amazon.com/Parkinsons-Tre...+parkinson%27s

the involuntary movements stop quickly, you stop the C/L and they stop.
they are a function of advanced pd and spikes in C/L concentration, healthy test subjects given C/L don't get those movements.
