Susan,

I too am an early pd. I am 51 and have been diagnosed for 7 years.  My
symptoms have been muscle rigidity-dystonia- and slowness. Almost like
becoming a statue.  I do not have the tremors. My sinemet quite working this
year so I had aright side pallodomity to losen muscles on left so I could
walk again. I am still in recovery.
It is hard to be so young and limited with a good mind. I taught school for
28 years and had to retire by age 50.  I am working on staying positive, but
it is hard. Thank goodness I have a great husband.  My EMail is
[log in to unmask] if you wish to write personally.  Good luck.  Patricia
