My husband's first symptom was an inability to write. His writing became smaller and smaller. This symptom was very distressing to him because, as a scientist, he had to do a great deal of writing. When he discussed the symptom with his doctor, the doctor told him that it was a 'Parkinsonian symptom' probably related to his blood pressure medication, Esidrex - a medication that contained Serpasil, a (now) known causative agent of PD. He was not taken off the drug. Within 3 years, his symptoms had progressed to the point where he was diagnosed with PD. He was 40 years old. ----------- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 65/25) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
