I am 49 years old and was diagonsed with Parkinson's about 2 months ago. I am presently taking Amentadine 3 times a day. This in conjunction with a planned excercise program had made me more alert, mobile and most of all feel better about myself. Don't let the drugs scare you they do help. Additionally I have found a wealth of information on the Internet that has really helped. The picture looks alot brighter the more information you are exposed to. Best of luck. Leonard
