Ray, could you please e-mail me the name of that person in Murietta, CA? I used to be the acting postmaster there. I was the Postmaster in Lake Elsinore (15 miles away) when Parkinsons forced me to retire early also.

It is my understanding that it is the most difficult symptom of PD to treat. A postal worker in Murietta CA was taking Mirapex which stopped hers for a year, then the tremor took over any way. She had to retire early.
