Eli, unfortunately Parkinson's gets worse it seems no matter what you do. I don't take PD meds because Sinemet only helped me once, but had bad side effects witih agonists and they didn't help at all. Everyone is different wih regard to meds and disease progress. DBSs got my tremors under control. PD is a real nasty disease.
