Anybody experience pain when making a fist?
Hello everybody. After a few weeks making little comments here and there, I am ready to post a question that is very important to me. First, however, the clinical snapshot; skip if you are sick of reading these accounts. History and treatment: My first unequivical symptom (micrografia) showed

Yesterday & Tomorrow
All fellow travelers on this boat called Parkinson's we have written in stone in our memory and soul a date: the day of diagnosis. That day changed everything. There is a before and after in our lives on that day. The person who entered the office of the neurologist only looks like that one who

I wanna new Drug (one that won't make me sick)
You said it Huey; one that won't make me crash my car or make me feel three feet thick. Sounds like Mr. Lewis had some knowledge of Parkinson's drugs. MIRAPEX a nonergot dopamine agonist, was the first drug prescribed for me.Side effects include: extreme drowsiness, falling asleep suddenly, even

The fierce urgency of now
Parkinson's does not stand still. Every single hour of every single day it is quietly gnawing away at our nerve cells. Like mice in the attic, scurrying around, nibbling at cables. Little by little this gradual erosion takes away our future and even our present. But only if we let it. If Parkinson's

CHANGE!
CHANGE! In the past year my Parkinson’s medication, L-dopa, and I have both celebrated our 40th birthdays. In some respects, I suppose that I am lucky that for the last 13 years, I have been able to swallow varying amounts of this drug everyday. It is fantastic. Without it I would not enjoy my life

levodopa
has given me auditory hallucinations. My tremors have increased and are now on my right side as well. Sometimes my whole body - head to legs shake. I'm just looking for input or something if anyone can.
