Dear Diana,
Hi. My name is Jill, and I am 46 and was diagnosed two months ago. I
am reading "When Parkinson's Strikes Early" and have found it to be very
informative. The only symptom I have is a resting tremor to my left arm
which started last November. My Neurologist currently has me on 100mg of
Mysoline. I also have Seizure Activity due to brain injury from a fall off
a ladder on New Years Day. The fall was not from Parkinson's but my own
stupidity for being on a ladder without assistance. I still like to think I
am 19 at times. I found relief from tremors on only using 25mg once a day
and they have increased it to 100mg and now I have no more tremors. I am
the mother of one child, a 15 year teenage son. My mother's father had
Parkinson's as well as my father's sister. We also lost a very good friend
of the family to Parkinson's Disease. Looking forward to being on the
listserv list and hearing from everyone.
Sincerely,
Jill
