About Me
I am a 71 year old male and still very active. I go the the firness center 2-3 times a week. Up until fall of 2007 I road Harley Davidson Motorcycles for 24 years. For this health reason I gave it up. I am married to a very supportive wife that understands PD through a life long friend. She noticed my tremor before I did and suspected I had a problem. I told my primary doctor I was concerned about the tremor and suspected it might be PD. I was refered to a neurorogist in July 2008 and confirmed I was in an early stage of PD and put on Carbidopa/levodopa 25/100MG.
