Hi all, Just signed on so I plan to do a lot of reading before I get active posting. I'm a good lurker anyhow. Stats: Age: 62 (retired at 55) Wife: Donna an RN and knowledgeable advocate! On the web since 1993 Dx: Dec 2002 (Previous Dx "Essential Tremor") Mild symptoms for 6-7 years Meds: Propranolol for tremor (20mg x 4); Lipitor; Vit E,C, multi Dr: Paul Tuitt, U of Minnesota (next appt 3/04) Decision time: When to start the "heavy duty" stuff I've read most of the recommended reading and am impressed with the fine tuned knowledge of this group. I know that will be a huge benefit as my pd progresses..... I'm looking into study opportunities but most seem to be on the east or west coast. :-( Regards Paul Edstrom ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
