Cindy. Thanks for your response and greeting. It was good to hear from someone who did not present with tremors. I'm thinking we are probably fortunate in that respect, and the fact that he was older when diagnosed. It may be that other PD symptoms may be slow to catch up with him. He's going to ask his neuro about the Mirapex next time he talks with him. Another good thing is that he is continuing to go to his health club 3 -4 days a week and they have introduced him to some kind of a 'ball' exercise that helps with his balance and strengthening his lower body. Thanks again, Jackie Smith ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
