Hello List I am a newcomer to Parkinsn Listserv. I am 47 years old and began having tremor problems in 1993. I also have Bi-Polar Manic Depression. My psyciatrist recognized PD with the tremors, walking problems, head bobbing, and lip twitch. He sent me to a neurosurgeon, who in turn sent me to Chicago to Rush-St. Lukes. I take Sinnemet and Permax. Dosage is changing on Permax. I also take Lithium, Depakote, Paxil, High Blood Pressure med, and Synthroid. Man, what a pain. I am trying to get used to PD. I am also a recovering Alcohol and Addict. I am married and my spouse is my caregiver. He is great at the task. Told me he feels it is an honor to care for me. I live very new South Bend, (Golden Dome, Notre Dame Fighting Irish. There are 2 minature Schnauzers and 2 FAT CATS. I have not been able to work as the shaking is not under control and bartending is out. I enjoy reading all of the items on my email. Thank you for being here.
