Dx 12 yrs, am 48 now. Started w/difficulty writing followed by tremor in right index finger six mos later. Went to neuro two yrs after onset, dxd two years after that. Was put on mirapex a year later, 1.5mg 3x/day, stayed on that dose until recently, now taking no pd meds. Couldnt type on mirapex anymore and that was the last thing i was tryinng to preserve so why bother. Still cant type but my ankles are almost back to their skinny selves :-)
