Hi Ron - I to find it difficult to tolerate CR's. But I'm writing you to ask you to share your 20 years of PD. I've had it 16 or 17 years or so and I'm 70 years old. Not too many old timers online. If you don't mind I'd like to know what symptoms are and have been most troubling to you and if you have had any surgeries. If I'm to have surgery, and I'm considering a DBS, it should be soon as I've read it is more effective before 69. My major problem right now is dyskinesias but I have an ongoing problem with walking and freezing. I can take a 10/100 and a Mirapex and within a few minutes I can walk but I'm "on" for a shorter and shorter time so I can't always be sure it will work. I'd appreciate anything you would care to share. helen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
