Hi, I am a new subscriber to the network and have found out lots of information since I have joined. All of which is great and am going threw it with great care. My name is Dar Newman, I live in Lander, Wy and was diagnosed with parkinson's 5 years ago at the age of 38. Since my diagnosis things have gone well. I take the following meds: Sinemet CR, Parlodel and Eldepryl. They all seem to work well except for the time just before my menstral cycle starts, and then I have increased muscle stiffness in my shoulders, and neck which make it hard to move. I am searching to find out any information or hints from anyone as to what might help. I have been working with a chiropractor who uses heat and massage and that helps. My neurologist is also trying to find information. So if anyone has any suggestions I would really like to hear from you. Dar Newman [log in to unmask]
