Hi,

I'm Tom.

In Oct. of 97 at age 36, I first noticed my left foot shaking while on the
operating table for corporal tunnel surgery on my left hand.  The shaking
was slight, so I ignored it for a few months.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson in Feb. 98. at age 36.

Started taking Elderprel.

Went for second opinion and switched doctors. The new doctor took me off
Elderprel to try various other drugs, Amanatine, Mirapex, Sinemet CR.

I currently take:
7am:  .5 mg Mirapex, 1.5 pills of Sinemet CR 50-200, Vit. C & E
11am: .5 mg Mirapex, 1.5 pills of Sinemet CR 50-200, Vit. C & E
4pm:  1.5 pills of Sinemet CR 50-200
10pm: 1 mg Mirapex, 1.5 pills of Sinemet CR 50-200, Vit. C & E

My left foot/leg shakes the most, my left hand is starting to shake. But my
pain is my left buttocks, which can really hurt. So much so that I would
rather stand then sit.

I have seen a physical therapist with no luck and a massage therapist, also
no luck in reliving the pain.

So, thats my intoduction.


Enjoy!
