Eileen: How old are hyou? My symptons are very similar to yours; but I have been having these symptoms for atleast 30 years. However, at age 69, when the symptoms became unbearable I was diagnozed as chronic ET recently overlapped by PD symptoms. I also do not take any medication so far. However, I am taking alternatveswhich include PS, Oral glutathione, Co Q10, B6, B12, folic acid, lipoic acid, and N-acetyl cysteine. These are really helping me to keep of from Sinemet and Mirapex etc. Raj [log in to unmask] ********************* ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eileen Werndorfer" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 8:17 PM Subject: Re: Care Plan at Nursing Home for Severe PD client/patient/exercise > Rayilyn, I was just wondering how long you have had PD and what your > symptoms are?
