We are all groping in the dark, each one of us affected in different ways. Contrary to much of the bombardment of information on this list from 'experts' this is my personal experience, and may not apply to you. My PD was diagnosed 8 yrs ago,(probably 10+) , am now age 61. I am quite fortunate in that practically no tremors,except under stress (happy or sad),,cry easily at emotional happenings, slightly in a fog every a.m., stiff necks, but still play tennis, do gardening for 6 hours, internet 4 hrs. daily, became a journalist 3 yrs ago, (just interviewed Jinx Falkenburg, Woody Allen , Goldie Hawn, Alan Alda, Marissa Tome, Ed Burns (She's the one, Brothers McMullen),etc.... and when I remember I take 2 Eldepryls per day, PLUS 1000 mg of vitamin E (plus procardia(pressure). The reports from the Mother country about death stalking eldepryl takers have not been accepted here in the states so far,...if I pass on in the next few weeks it will from exhaustion in handling my five grandchildren, going to disney world in dec. and then to south beach,miami where the music plays 24 hours a day,and from our apt. i have full view of the no top, no bottom beach, plus lovely sunrises. love you all bernardo
