Hi All... My name is Charles Matherly, I am 35 YO and was diagnosed with PD 3 years ago. First, I would like to congratulate Barbara Patterson on maintaining a Great Resource for folks living with PD. I take great comfort knowing that I am not alone (ie.. early onset PD) in trying to lead a normal productive life with PD as a major part of it. Second, Today is my first day taking sinemet (I have been taking eldypryl since the diagnosis and will continue) and it was here that I gained a lot of the insight I needed to help me make the decision to request the perscription even though my symptoms are still somewhat mild. Along the lines of sinemet, I would like to here more about others experiences with it (good as well as bad). I would also like to here from other early onsetters about life in general and how they and their families are coping. My mail address is [log in to unmask] Thanks again Barbara, I look forward to learning and participating. Charles Matherly
