I'm a new member of the Network. I have been diagnosed with PD for four
years. My main symptoms are a tremor in my right hand (which is
controlled fairly well by Sinemet and Eldepryl), insomnia, and
tiredness. I have some loss of balance.
I am 48 years old and an assistant professor in the Department of
Counseling and Guidance. Coincidentally, my professional interest has
been in the effects of crisis and trauma on families. I have some
interest in researching the impact of PD on family members of victims.
I find it interesting that a colleague in the same department (12
faculty) has developed PD in the past year. Her primary symptoms are
tremors in her arm and leg on one side and tiredness.
I appreciate the availability of this Network.
