I was diagnosised with Parkinsons Disease just two weeks ago
(49 yr old female) after noticing a change in my walk/gait for the past year
untill i was almost unable to walk and sought treatment. Not many other synptoms
except balance and coordination, I shake or tremble inwardly but it is not
visable. Yet. Here are some questions i have.
I wake up several times a night with nightmares,
screamming, kicking, punching etc, etc, etc. and have for approx 3 years.
The Dr. I saw at the Univ.of Mich said this is part of the P.D. Do others
experiance this? Sinemet seems not to have helped that maybe made it worse
althought my walk has MUCH improved on sinemet. The Sinemet causes my
armpits to be VERY uncomfortable- hurt! I have never experianced this
before-Is that common?
I would like to find or start a support group in my Northern
Michigan area-any help there?
Thank-you. DN
