Hi Everybody!! I am delighted that I have just found this group - It's great to read = how others are experiencing and managing their PD. I was diagnosed in 1994 at the age of 44. I took Eldepryl and Sinemet = for over a year. About 5 months ago I stopped my medication for 2 = reasons - (1) I hate medication!! and (2) I have a belief that healing = is holistic and comes from within, therefore external cures(pills, diet = etc) have only a limited place. =20 Needless to say the symptoms are back with a vengeance(facial stiffness, = difficulty writing and speaking, drooling and left hand tremor). I = would love to find a way of working with my symptoms rather than = constantly fighting against my body to control it(been doing that all my = life trying to make it into something my head thinks it should be - = doesn't seem to work in general) I'd love to hear from others in the group who might have similar = thoughts and feelings on this. I'd like to hear criticisms too!! Seamus [log in to unmask]
