Dear Sue, Thanks for the welcome message. Yes, I had a hard time. The first sign was in my left leg. I started to have difficulty to walk. Two years later, I had problems to write too. It was better for me typing than writting. I used to work in a national computer factory - 8 hours a day - and I remember one day that I was so tired that I couldn't walk to the car. But the worst part was after my kids were borned. I couldn't give them a shower, or walk with them in my arms when they were crying. At that time was no hope for me. I had a wrong diagnoses - Strumpell Lorrain and for this disease there was nothing to do. But I had good moments at that time too. My weeding was very beautiful and I had the support of my familly. And inside me, I knew that something would happen. I didn't know why, but I had the feeling that things could change. And I was right. Since I started to take levodopa, I don't want to waste one minute of my life. I want to do everything, I sleep very little. The hard time that I had made me see life in a different way. And it's very good to have a group to discuss about it. Sorry, but my daughter Flavia is now asking me to help her doing her homework. She wants to say hi to you - dog ( she wrote that - it's the only word that she knows in English ) See you soon, if the phone company let me ... Just joking, the telephone system here is not so good ... Claudia [log in to unmask]
