My name is Colleen Popp. I am 41 years old. I have Parkinson's Disease. I also suffer from Dystonia, which is painful tightening or drawing-up of a limb or muscle. I know most Parkinson's people are affected on their left side, but mine is affected on my right side of my body. I have constant neck, arm and shoulder pain. I cannot hold my arms up to even wipe a window without pain. Actually I am pretty much in pain constantly. I hope that I can find someone to talk to and maybe help on Free-net. Believe it or not I am just learning how to use a computer so bear with me to get back to you. I'd also like to know if any of you started showing signs of this disease in your early (30') as I did, but it took several years for a doctor to diagnose it. I have internal tremorring more so than you can see visually, and two of my sisters have very noticeable tremorring. Hope to hear from some of you. Colleen Popp ([log in to unmask])
