Debbie, I wish I had done more in my "honeymoon" period of PD.

In the beginning my left hand tremor was "interesting".  By the time I had
my DBS surgeries in 2003 bilateral tremors were driving me crazy.  In the
beginning 1996 I  could write, talk, walk, everything...even went to
Australia/New Zealand no cane in 1997 and Egypt with a cane in 1999.

The one thing we can expect is we will get worse.  The question is how fast
and how bad and how well will meds or brain surgery help.
Ray.
