After 8 months of being observed by a neurologist, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in August. My first symptom (2 years ago, and still predominant symptom) was weakness in my right arm and side. I was started on amantadine then moved to eldypryl and now take sinemet. The stiffness and tremor are less now but the weakness in my right arm is severe. The people treating me just shrug when I ask any questions regarding what I can expect in the future. (I'm 51). ChrisH8084 (Chris Holmes)
