This is not a slippery slope, John. From what my docs have told me, and some research people when I've been in studies, the great majority of PWPs have some degree of executive function loss. A lot of doctors don't know it yet, or attribute it to other things. Fortunately, it's in the cortex, or outer layer, of the brain that multitasking is done (google "anterior cingulate cortex"), and there are a LOT of pathways possible there so we can work around them and build new pathways and recover some of the function. The actual motor function of the fingers--I'm sorry, but there are not so many extra cells in the back of the brain where the motor layers are and so it's more difficult to find any extra cells to make new pathways. Anhow, other people catch up to us in the memory function loss, and we can end up better off than them because we've been fighting it so long. To oversimplify.

I had a bad time with Mirapex, but Requip is okay for me.

Coconut oil is high in cholesterol, isn't it?
