I was started on Azilect when I was diagnosed in 12/2011. Symptoms were essentially just left side tremors. Still only taking Azilect as tremors are not much worse and definitely not interfering with my life. I recognize I am taking it on the hope that it will slow the progression and do not expect it to reduce symptoms. I feel I am doing well, doing a lot of exercise classes, pilates, Tai Chi Chih (very good for PD) and a Dancing through Parkinsons class. My neurologist says I get an A for being so active which he says is great medicine. And I have 2 different support groups. I certainly don't love having PD but I am living with it and try not to think what the future will bring. Guess it helps to be 74 years old!
