Diane, I'm new to this list thing so hope I am doing this right. I also do not have tremors but have terrible problems with rigidity, balance, coordination, and handwriting (my handwriting has almost disappeared). I teach school so that is becoming a problem. I was diagnosed 2 years ago at the age of 50. I am on Permax (after requip knocked me out). Were you on other meds before Sinemet and mirapex? Would be interested in corresponding.
