About your ?? re:learning without being scared to death, let me lst say, congrats for not sticking your head in the sand. It's only by knowing what may happen in the future that we can prepare for what we may experience. The KEY word here is MAY. Parkinson's is a designer disease and each pwp(person with Parkinson's) will have unique symptoms and disease progression. What the list members can provide, is personal stories of their individual experiences that may help you with what happens to you. It's like any new experience; until you learn to swim, water over your head is frightening. Once you can swim, the deep water is easier to navigate. Soon, you will be helping others to navigate the murky waters of Parkinson's, too. Each pwp teaches another pwp and the momentum keeps us hopeful while research looks for the cause/cure we all desire. Yes SIR, that's how this baby works!

I'm new to this group , but in two days have learned a lot. I'm on Requip and I'm having the same nap attacks as Margaret on Mirapex. Would like to hear from others on Requip. Again being that I'm new, I don't suppose I'm the only one who is getting scared to death reading about others with more severe symptoms than mine, or am I the only big baby out here???? How do learn and not get scared at the same time. Sir James
