Hi, my name is Shane Curry, 63 years old. I was diagnosed in 1987, "why is my arm not swinging? your toast is burning!" My condition is affecting my left side and progressing slowly. I take 3mg of mirapex and 75mg of levadop/carbodop daily, the latter for only a month, I thought I would get more of an immediate response from the dopamine but the 25mg pill is a low dose. It has had some positive effect on my voice and expression, according to my family. cheers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
