About three years before diagnosis my left arm stopped swinging. Since then my changing motor symptoms have been mainly on my left side. My left arm, leg, hand and foot have been shaky and/or stiff and/or painful and/or cramped and/or slow. Eldepryl reduced the severity of most of these symptoms. Unfortunately my arm has been shaking a lot again and about a week ago started hurting when I moved it in some directions and now it sometimes is stiff and hurts even when still. NADH has helped with urinary urgency and slowness and weakness of flow. I t also reversed a memory problem that had developed. I have no idea what the other alternative medicines are doing. I hope nothing harmful. (The NADH or any other alternative med. may be causing my arm problem.) Every once in a while I think I see my right hand shaking a little. Maybe left side shakes so hard that it shakes my right side. I guess I'm still in a state of denial. Diane Turner -- Diane Turner [log in to unmask]
