Dear fellow PWPs: Fatigue was one of my major symptoms for my Pd. I first got my thyroid checked. After a prescription of synthroid I felt better for a while. Then taking oral l-glutathione was a big help. Now I have added co Q 10 to my arsenol, which helps me a lot not only in the fatigue department, but also on symptoms such as twitching, postural instability and swalloing problems. I am 69. I was diagnosed in 1999, but had other symptoms (facial mask)as early as 1973! I didn't know what I had for more than three decades! I am still not on any medications. Actually my MDS told me last week, my symptoms are not severe enough to wrrant any serious PD medication yet! But, I know without synthroid, glutathione and Q10, I woud not be able to walk almost normal today.

I am a 61 year old man. Onset was at about 60. I to seem tired more than usual. I take 4 mil of Reqip a day and seem to be doing great. However I find that when I go to bed it only takes from 1 minute to less that 10 to drop into never never land. I guess that a good thing as compared to many of the stories I have read on this list. I and my lovely wife wish each and every one a Holiday full of Joy and Happiness. May it be all that you wish it to be.
