About Me
I am a 62 year old man who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in July of 2007. I have most of the symtoms that go along with Parkinson's: stiffness in legs,tremors (mild), voice weakness etc. Because my job is high stress and that really gets to me I have not worked since August 2007. I take 24mg of Requip XL 1x daily along with 1mg of Azilect daily and 40 mg of Celexa for depression and.5 mg of clonazepam to aid me going to sleep. I'm in a clinical test for a new drug to help with psychcoses
