Irene: I was diagnosed with Pd Oct. 2005. I was going to orthopedic DR for pain and weakness in my left let. He did not detect Pd. Then when I got the left hand tremor, I went on line and diagnosed myself. I started on Mirapex in Dec. 05. Started gradually on o.25, 0.5 three times a day and now I take l mg tid. It does help and I could not walk without it. My long range walking is not good such as at the mall. It helps the tremor some. Better with it than not. I got over the side effects such as nausea and sleepiness. Try it.
