Hi Ron Welcome from Leeds, England. I see we are about the same age and both taking Eldepryl but what is pramipexole and what is it supposed to do for you? I can only use a trackerball/mouse with my left hand; a real problem if the tracker ball is mounted on the RHS :-( I belong to the YAPP&RS over here; bit of a mouthful but it is short for Young Alert Parkinsons, Partners and Relatives. Can you let me have details of the Young Parkinson BBS in CA please; I'm very keen to find details of active young groups around the world. We have access to a BBS with a private area for YAPP&RS; lovingly called "Shaking Hands" :-)) Best wishes Bob Hills [log in to unmask]
