Thank you for your information, I am not up on all of this. I'm newly diagnosed with PD - the only thing that worked for me was the Neupro patch, which they have recalled. Been trying different meds, nothing helps with tremors. I keep hoping the Michael J Fox's Foundation's funding will bring assistance/cure - unfortunately, I may not see in my life time, but hope my children will see a cure.
