Keith, You might want to check out www.youngparkinsons.com and www.yopa.org Greg -------Original Message------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network Date: Sunday, January 12, 2003 8:08:02 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: New at this Hello everyone I am 46 years old and I was diagnosed with PD last April. I have just recently joined. The information that I get from you people I feel is great. I am looking forward to conversing with you. Before, I felt alone. The symptoms seems to affect my right side the most. I have limited use of my right hand and I have tremors in my right ankle and foot. The tremors seem to be getting worse in my right foot which is embarrassing at times and also makes it uncomfortable to drive. My Neurologist put me on Sinemet four times a day but it doesn't seem to help much until early evening. When I am up and walking around it seems to control the tremors but in my job as a Quality Engineer, I have to be on the road a lot or set in meetings with customers. I also noticed that within the first two hours after I take the Sinemet I experience dyskinesias and it affects my walking. I am only 46 years old and I don't feel that my Neurologist is doing much for me. Is there something that I can do to help me control my symptoms?
