Hi Susan A. Glad to here that you are strong enough to hang in there. Life is too short and precious to waste a minute of it. What are your symptoms at this point? Answer that only if you are comfortable doing so. So far I only have tremors on the left in my hand and arm. They get worse when I get nervous. I also have an ache in my hips, upper thighs and knees. These last problems are only about 3 weeks old. I refuse to sit back and let this disease beat me. I will continue to fight with all that I have. I have too much to do yet. The people on this list are a big help. It helps me to remain positive. I believe that it can help you too if you let it. Keep fighting. Sue W. 45/2
