I don't know if you can find a doctor in your country who specializes in movement disorders, but that would be ideal. Or even a doctor who specializes in Parkinson's may be able to help. I will check out your blog too. I'll tell my son you say HI.

I'm taking a very low dosis of Pramipexsol now, that's about the same as Requip. If you go to my blog - index - medical adventures - summer 2011, you can see my adventures at a special parkisnon clinic. not a great succes for now as you can see. I haven't have time to put my compete medical history online, but i'm going to put it in my blog soon.
I hope I can get a dopamine-scan soon so we know wy the medication is working so good. My neurologist is still working on that.
In with kind of test the doctors good see that your son has a movement disorder? I'm curius if he had different tests done than I had here in the Netherlands.
