Hello from the Nation's Capital. I've been reading the messages for about a week now and figured it was about time I introduced myself. I am Terry Brennan. I'm 38 years old, diagnosed for almost 7 years now, but with that worderful 20/20 hindsight we aquire when something like PD comes along I can see I had symptoms in my early twenties. So naturally I am very interested in finding other YOPDers (not that I haven't found a tremendous amount of wisdom, information, encouragement and humor among my elder PDers here on the list). I am doing fine so far having worn out Amantidine (6+years) and discarding Artane because of side effects (after only 5 months). My regular meds are Eldepryl;2x5mg daily and just this week I've added Sinemet CR; 100/25 twice a day. I feel pretty fortunate so far with only tremor and stiffness and a little slowing down to complain about. I am concerned about the reports of dyskinesia for someone in my situation, having a long way to go to get to the "normal" onset age of 65ish. I really appreciate any and all input. Much thanks, Terry Brennan E-mail: [log in to unmask] -daytime twinpeak I @aol.com -nights
