Hi Nancy:
I'll be increasing his pergolide to 6.5mg for one week starting on 10/28 and then increasing to 7mg for two weeks and retest his ACTH. He still has eye gunk and sheath smegma but those have been ongoing since 2005 (he is allergic to everything under the sun). No white line separation, rings, etc. . . he was just trimmed this past Wednesday and is done faithfully every 4 weeks. Yes; I've been doing a lot of reading this week and will carefully monitor whether he might be able to be dropped once the seasonal rise is over. Thanks for mentioning the pergolide 101 document I've read that as well.
Thank you so much for your input, I will keep the group updated!
Thanks,
Jane Hewitt
