Hi! I am also 46 years old- four years parkinson pt. I am a nurse working full time in Chicago- a long way from the beautiful state of maine- but we have some beauty here also in our lakefront.At this point my sympton-mainly- is a left sided tremor and weakness. I take Eldepryl and have only seen a very slow progression at this point. The future frightens me but i try to take each day as it comes with humor. Lynn Berg RN
