Hi Debbie. I was very similar to you (diagnosed 18 months ago). I put off taking pills, cos I don't trust them, but I've just started on Mirapexin - it does help tho makes me need the toilet rather a lot. As to the future - dunno, let's find out - and do our own research (why wait for the 'experts' when we can think too ?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
