About Me
I am 56 years old. Married for 27 years with 2 grown children. Was diagnosed last year. Main symptom is tremor and started taking Mirapex. Did not think it was working so tried Requip. That had more side effects and did nothing for the tremor so back on Mirapex. It is helping. Thankful for family and friends.
