Hello @musimary,
I did a search on Connect on TMS. Here is a link to all of the Connect discussions that refer to TMS.

I just looked through several of the pages of the search and I did not quickly see any reference to this therapy's usefulness with PD symptoms.
Here is an article from the Michael J. Fox website which speaks of TMS and Parkinson's

Have you been recently diagnosed with PD? What symptoms are the most troublesome for you?

Thank you for taking the time to reply. My husband has had Parkinson's for 8 years. I'm looking for some alternative therapy to add to the conventional protocol of Carbidopa Levodopa meds, as the doctors keep increasing his dosage and I've heard that after a time, these meds stop working. The Michael J Fox info was helpful. My husband's most troubling symptoms are reduced ability to think clearly, significant fatigue, and reduced mobility.
