Hi Phil, Welcome to this exclusive club! I'm 50/3 and also an electrical engineer with a large defense corporation. I've decided to forgo meds for the time being after trying Eledepryl and Artane with unacceptable side effects. I am megadosing Vitamin E which is helping with the cramping and taking Pycnogenol which helps with the low energy problem. I've been able to shift to two days of telecommuting which helps the stress tremendously. With lower stress the symptoms are more tolerable. I find exercise a great benefit. I have always loved to swim and continue with inevitable adjustments to deal with foot and leg cramps. Again, welcome to the club! I've found this list invaluable and many thanks to Barb for all her work in keeping it going. Gray
