In retrospect, the first six years was really no problem --- just the right hand tremor, take the Sinemet and for most of the day you don't have Parkinson's. Then I started feeling dis-integrated, and it got a little challenging. Primarily it was my right side that was affected, but could compensate with the left. With the reference of Janice Walton Hadlock's research, I was able to reduce the Sinemet to 400mg a day, lessening the dyskenesia and falling. At the ten year mark, my left side was suddenly affected, too, and I began having real problems turning over in bed at night, loosing my balance and falling, feet curling up making it difficult to walk.

My question of the day is: Why did it take ten years to develop in my left side?

It's wonderful to have found this community of deep thinking researchers -- there is so much nonsense out there regarding Parkinson's!
