Next week I'm undergoing a nuclear stress test to help diagnose some ornery chest pains. Is there anyone out there who has done this and has advice on what effect, if any, it may have on pd symptoms? The thought of radioactive thallium running around me body and brain is less than appealing (though it may encounter Led Zeppelin and other heavy metals leftover from the music of the 70's and I could enjoy a battle of the bands).
Thanks, Jon |

Jon,
I just did my nuclear stress test this past Friday. This is the third one I have done since 2006. For me, the only adverse effects were more than usual sleepiness. I returned home and promptly fell asleep for a couple of hours. Saturday was a battle of will but I lost repeatedly. I slept off and on most of the day. Sunday was much better. I only fell asleep once for about 45 minutes. I had no noticeable increase in the rest of my symptoms. GregD
