Thanks for the input on having PD only on one side. I have it on my right side and am right handed. I am becoming very adept in using my left hand. The nero seemed interested in the fact that my right side is smaller than my left. He also felt that this could progress slower and, that alot of times meds do not work . I am a relatively new member on the list. It has been very helpful. Also it has been nice to see messages from people I have met at the Parkinson's Action Network annual forum in Washington DC
