On 7/15 Marling wrote about the rate of progression of PD. Several post have been made already and I agree with all of them. Since Apr '94 I've been on selegiline and amantadine and only started on sinemet 25/100 two weeks ago when I had my neuro appointment. He could tell I was starting to walk like a toy solider and my hand tremor had become a little more pronounced. I believe what has helped me is the vitamins and minerals I take. Nutritional deficiencies are not going to help . I am also looking for help from alternative medicine and will post if I get any help that way. Billy good luck in job search. Marling keep playing that piano and only worry if you start using your fist to pound on the keys. Remember the old Chinese proverb He who shoots rabbit will not have duck to put in chicken soup.
