Default Good news, bad news

Well its been 6 months since I discontinued alcohol and the numbness in the feet and hands has improved. Hooray! However a few symptoms did not improve, such as the slower movement of the fingers in my right hand. Went back to the neurologist last week and he had me walk down the hall and observed that my right arm wasn't swinging the same amount as the left. He also noted that my handwriting was small and the letters were cramped. He diagnosed me with probable Parkinsons and put me on carbidopa/levodopa (25/100 twice daily).

The good news is that the alcohol induced PN did improve and is now much less noticeable. Wish there was something I could do about the Parkinsons.
