Hello Friends.i I'm Marilyn from Florida and need your imput. Does anyone on the network have an opinion about Parkinsons and the effect on ones eyesight? My vision has deterrioated quite rapidly of late. Before this past year my eyesight had remained quite constant with little need for a change in glasses. Now I cannot read the phone book, for instance and anything short of large size print needs to be in good light or read with a reading glass. Handiwork sewing, knitting, etc)is out of the question. I was diagnosed in 1998. Major problem is tremor on left side mostly in leg which is almost constant except for sleep time. I have trouble sleeping more than 5 hours, take no daytime naps and don't feel sleepy during the day. Other symtoms are drooling, stumbled walking;, and memory loss. No dementia. I take Mirapex - 2 mg. per day and Sinemet 2 per day strength 50/200. The various messages on the Parkinsons network are informative and even comforting to me. knightam2aol.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
