Hello, I am new on this list...just diagnosed in May of this year with PD. I am 52 years old and looking back over the last five years I can say that I have seen signs of it creeping up on me. First diagnosed with Essential Tremor in 1999 and at that time I have two of four criteria's for PD...tremor and balance problems. I am on Amantadine twice daily which seems to be helping the tremor, joint & muscle pains and rigidity. Actually, there are times I feel normal and question whether the doctor has made a mistake. That is probably still my denial at work. Just looking at me no one would know I have PD. I am interested in hearing from others with the same symptoms. The only other thing I have not been able to get under control...guess I should talk to my doctor is the restless leg syndrome that I am experiencing. Is that part of PD?
