Can a drug that is supposed to help but in fact has the opposite result?
I find that my parkinsons conditions are getting worse faster than I expected. Could this "accelerated worsening" by any chance be caused by the experimental drug that I'm taking or it is just the normal course of Parkinson progression?
Some background to order to put things in perspective:
- I was diagnosed to have Parkinson August of this year (stage 1)
- I got on the SR57667b drug study in early Sept (not on any other kind of medications)
- I find that I can no longer type with my right hand (right hand only display signs of PD), I didnot have any trouble before then.
- right leg now shakes occassionally;
- experience slight joint pain at end of middle finger and wrist.
I donot believe PD can progress this fast so the only other speculation is the experimental drug. Any comments or insight from the group is much appreciated.
Thank You,

Subject: Greetings !!! SR57667b drug study - Golf
Are there anyone on this list having or are participating in the experimental SR57667b drug study. I'm interested in finding out early indicators in the effectiveness and side-effects if any associated with this. If I get enough response, I can even summarise the response and post it here for info (I appreciate that any official results should come from the drug manufacturer themselves but I simply want to share user experience, please advsise if this is against this forum policy).
On another topic, are there any avid golfers in this newsgroup who also have parkinsons? I am a golfing enthusiast and was recently diagnosed with PD (36yrs old - guess it is called early onset). Just wondering how one's game progresses with PD :-)
Thank You and Regards,
