Hi John, I am 49. I too was diagnosed in Jan. this year and have the same symptoms, left side, trouble walking, noticeable limp, dragging my foot, and no tremors. W e are "Type B" Parkinsons. Go to www.pallidotomy.com and look under 'Learn about Parkinsons Disease Prognosis' page, it explains the types. (A & B) I take Sinemet 25/100 CR and it is working great for me at least for now, all symptoms are essentially gone and I was to the point i could barely walk, before i started it. Dr. tried me on Requip 0.25 mg which was like taking a baby asprin, didn't help at all. Good luck with your study and you'll find great info on this PIEN.
