Symptoms worsening....desperately need advice on medication options.
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.
