Christine, Thanks for the tip on font size and for your positive =
response.
Kathrynne, My dear friend, thanks for a 'friendly virtual face'! You are =
on the frontlines for all of us. I really appreciate you!
I am from Missouri and think that exposure to pesticides triggered my =
PD. My wonderful doctor doesn't think so, however. I had symptom onset =
at age 33, diagnosis at 34-35. The first 8 years weren't so bad. The =
next 4 years I continued to get worse and had a very successful =
pallidotomy in 12/96.
I really needed a bilateral but one side was enough for the first go =
around. I am nearing making a decision on the other side. I was hoping =
for deep brain stimulation, but may have to have a pallidotomy. I am =
really torn as to what to do. I wonder what lies ahead when I reach my =
50-60's and up.
I have been married for 27 years, have two great boys.=20
My main struggles are tremors vs. dyskenisia. Either I am "off" or i am =
dyskenetic. Middle ground is rarely found lately. Drugs are Mirapex (4.5 =
mg a day) Sinemet CR and Sinemet. I tried to increase Mirapex to 6 mg. =
but had dizziness and lightheadedness. Currently, I am trying to find =
the right combination to lengthen my drug effects to postpone surgery as =
long as possible.
