I, too, take time getting up and at 'em in the morning, but once I'm mobilized, I am able to walk my Lab for 20 minutes..at MY pace, not his. I guess we all have problems others would take in exchange for their own. I have very little tremor. Main difficulty is rigidity, balance and bradykinesia. And fatigue, my constant companion. Where will we be in 10 years? I try not to worry or even make plans for that. Maybe I'll regret that later. Hope not. Clare Wilson
