I just read on Rate your MD
http:www.ratemds.com A patient made a comment about my former neurologist prescribing Mirapex. The patient with pd said "Mirapex has been band in Europe for 4 years but doctors in NA still freely prescribe it" My gawd is this true? Does anyone know? Bonnie

yes Mirapex is frequently prescibed in the U.K.There are concerns about side effects but agonists are freqently prescribed in The U.K as the first monotherapy.
I hate those little icons saying sad or happy.I have just noticed I am labelled as sad.Well it can stay there but it has made me feel grumpy. Last edited by Curious; 05-11-2008 at 11:15 AM. Reason: edited per NT Guidlines |

Your currency is not the Euro is it; so would the UK be considered part of Europe? Thanks for the info, I'd like to know if there is any truth to this person's statement? I certainly have not heard about it which seems odd.

About pasties, our daughter #1 and family are spending this spring semester in Cambridge, UK, daughter as fellow of Trinity, son in law fellow of Clare. Their boys, 13 and 5, love their UK school/kindergarden, and all four adore your pasties. They will miss them when they return to Virginia. They do like many other things about the UK too.
And for some reason pasties are a Pennsylvania specialty, in the midst of German Amish traditions. I had to think a while about the vest! We do wear ours on the outside... But like England, I am part of a continent, but think of myself as separate. I live here, but I was born and grew up in Denmark. 'The habits of birte and the US' And I am a stickler and a pedant...... a Danish one....in the US. |

In England a vest goes along with pants both are undergarments not seen outside the bedroom.
Pasties are interesting.Cornwall is the place really noted for them.Savoury ones(meat,potato and vegetables ) are crimped at the top.Apple ones are crimped at the side.In some parts of Cornwall the meat goes one end and the apple the other.They were originally the tin miners packed lunch so you threw away the pastry end as it was contaminated by tin where you had held it True Cornish do not consider themselves to be English.They have their own language and customs.My grandfather was descended from a Cornish tribal princess. I am of mixed race:not in the sense you mean, but I am Anglo-saxon/Norman(English) and Celtic(Cornish) If you want a recipe for a traditional pastie I can provide it. Ask in a week or two as I am off on holiday.Like all true ly traditional recipes this variation on the pastie was handed down to me by example and not written down.I have a traditional recipe for a Bakewell Tart handed down in the same way.Yes, Tart has a double meaning in England as well.Tea is the most difficult to understand.If you are invited to tea it can be just a cup of tea or it can be sandwiches,cake,scones and rich double cream. You have to just guess. |
