I was recently diagnosed, and am on both Eldepryl and Mirapex.  My main
symptom is tremor in my left hand.  I have many of the same concerns that
you have regarding the future.  One thing I have learned, however, is that
no one can answer questions regarding how fast PD will progress, what
symptoms it will bring to each person (and when), and what treatment is best
for each individual.  With regard to treatment, there are a lot of opinions
about what is best in the short and long term.  I think that often it
becomes a matter of trying medications, and replacing them with others if
they don't do the job.  I guess we need to think of this journey as a
learning experience.  Hopefully, you have a highly qualified doctor to
assist you through the process.
