Hollow let me introduce myself, In July 1991 i was diagnose with Parkinson's disease at the age of 48. Although i am still working as am Electrical Engineer - Manufacturing Systems i find each day to be a challenges to continue. My most disabling symptoms are stiffness of the right arm, tremor in the right hand, slowness and depression. I am in the process of a divorce after 13 years of marriage. This has been very stressful for me, because i am now all along and feel very rejected. My medications are not working well (Sinemet, Permax, & Eldepryl)they make me drowse. Antidepressant medications cause side effects that worsen my PD symptoms. Information on the following topics would be appreciated: 1) ECT treatment for depression in PD 2) Manganism (the silent epidrmic) 3) MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl) Have a nice day, Bob
