Glad to meet everyone although, like everyone else here, I'd rather not have to be here!
I'm a 58 year old florida resident with a wife with heart disease and two adult kids, 33 and 19. I've been diagnosed with PD since mid 2008 although I've had symptoms since 2002 when they thought I had RA. Just needed to find a better class of doctor. (At the time I lived in a small town in South Dakota) I have a form of PD that hits mostly from the waist down so my tremors, muscle spasms, and slow movement(can't think of the word) is mostly south although ridgitity(sp) memory problems,et al hit body wide! I take 12 mg requip xl, 1 mg of clonipin, and several others for other problems and I do still work as a ase certified auto tech(master) although I'm limited by what I can pick up and handle and also by how long I can stand. I hope I haven't bored you to death but I've been waiting a long time to actually tell someone without worrying whether I'd get fired or something so now I'll shut up. I'm very glad to meet you all!
