Hi everyone.

I am 69 and last year was diagnosed with PD. Up until the last few weeks, my symptoms were a slight hand tremor, jaw tremor, and some muscle spasms in my left bicep.

However, tonight I notice that for the first time my right bicep is also spasming and my tremors are getting more obvious.

I have been taking a ton of nutritional supplements but my symptoms are causing me so much stress that I'm losing my appetite and can't seem to think about anything else.

So I have decided to make the leap to medication.

I tried researching on my own, but there is just SO much info that I can't make heads or tails of it.

Here is what I'm trying to find out:

-What is the latest medication available for PD, how effective is it, and what are the sides

-Is there any other latest and greatest treatment that I should know about?

Thank you all so much and I VERY much look forward to your replies.
