All, I'm new to the list. I am 49, was diagnosed with PD three years ago, and refuse to slow down. Just got done working two years at an extremely tense construction project in Saudi Arabia, and now I'm headed for a job in Mexico. So far, the PD is only affecting my right side (rats! I was right-handed! Now I've got two left hands!), but the Sinemet works fairly well. Some days I can walk very proudly. I am interested in hearing from people with similar situations. How do you cope? Regards, Dan
