Hello List Members, I found this list on the People Living With Parkinson's and Dumpster website. I have been living with the diagnose of PD for about 12 years. My disease has recently begun progressing more rapidly. I am taking 1 Mirapex, 1 Sinemet Regular 25/100, 1 Sinemet CR 25/100 all 4 times a day. I add an extra Sinemet CD 25/100 at night to try to get more than 3 hours of sleep. My doctor recently tried switching me from Mirapex to Requip. Within 2 days I was reduced to a sobbing heap on the couch. Switched back to Mirapex and am back to where I was. The drugs seem to wear off earlier all the time. When the drugs wear off I feel famished and need to eat or next dose doesn't work. Anyone else have that problem? I am a musician and music teacher. I have cut back from 40 private lesson students to 18, but still find myself canceling lessons at the last minute as unable to teach due to symptoms. Can no longer solo but am still able to play with groups. Am married to a music teacher who is also the very best drummer in the twin cities. He signed his life sentence with me 6 months before my diagnose. It was his great sence of humor that attracted me to him and I don't know how we could have made it through the last 12 years without it. Well I am rambling too much. Would love to meet you. Would also be interested in participating in the survey regarding the cause of Parkinson's. Best regards, Vicky __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo!
