Thanks for the encouragement. I have been diagnosed l year but I know I had it almost a year before that. Mirapex does not take away the tremor just reduce it when the meds are good. Today I went to exercise after being away for two weeks and it was really hard to lift my feet to do marching exercise. Maybe I should take the Mirapex earlier before I go. I have a lot to learn.
