Hi everyone! I would like to reintroduce myself to all the wonderful members of this Listserve. I have been a member of the Parkinsons Listserve for over two years. I dont contribute many emails to the Listserve, but this Listserve has been and will continue to be a valuable resource for me. I follow and read the messages daily. I was diagnosed with PD in 1989. Within the last 7-8 years the progression has been slow thank GOD! Over the last 3 years, my tremor which is on my right side only, has progressed; so has the stiffness in my right hand and arm. I am searching for alternatives to drugs and especially to Sinemet (I take 4-5 tablets of 25-100 Sinemet daily). I will report my alternative findings as they arise. I am 50 years young, divorced, still working 40-45 hours per week as a computer support analyst in the Los Angeles area (San Fernando Valley). After dating over the last 3-4 years since my divorce, I would like to meet a female who has PD, since only someone who has PD knows and understands what we go through daily. Soooo, since the members of our Listserve are all sincere, wonderful people, I thought this would be a great place to start to meet that special woman. So send me an email and lets get to know each other! Bob [log in to unmask]
