Much appreciated. >My name is Fred Zwartjes. I'm 56 and live in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada. At age 49 I was diagnosed as having Parkinson Disease (I would like to drop disease and replace it with symptoms). I retired from my job in 1993 as a Manager with Alberta Government Telephones after 30 years of serves. I have been busy ever since with consulting, volunteer work and managing Our Adult Living Community Complex. Last but not least, support our local Parkinson's Society. I find that by keeping busy, my symptoms are somewhat less in duration and increase my "ON TIME". > >At this point in time I'm taking Sinemet 100/25 and Sinemet CR 200/50, Artane, Deprenyl and vitamin "A" (400 IU). I know and feel that the symptoms appear more frequent as time goes on, but is expected. The last 6 years have been good and hope that the next 6 years will be the same. Staying optimistic is half the cure. > >I would like to take this oppertunity to say hellow to all you Parkinson's and enjoy reading your comments. Keep up the good work and stay active. > >========================== >Fred Zwartjes >[log in to unmask] >========================== >Barb, I'm not sure if my message got through to the server. Can you confirm this for me .regards, Fred.
