welcome, Margery! This is a great place to ask questions, learn what's new in PD research and even how to advocate for change at National Institutes of Health for more federal dollars for Parkinson's. Also a place to feel less alone as you face life with Parkinson's.

I have suspected this diagnosis for a while (even tho it was misdiagnosed for over a year) so I am not surprised, but it's been a blow nevertheless. Since symptoms and progress seem to vary dramatically and contradictorily (if there's such a word) it would be wonderful to hear from some/all of you regarding both. I have elected not to start medication - the tremors are noticeable but do not impede anything I try to do so far. I have no idea how long that will last, but since everything I read indicates building up an immunity to the drugs plus very real possible side effects, I would think it practical to wait as long as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you, Margery ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
