About Me

My photo
Massachusetts, United States
I am 41 years old. I have been married to my husband for 15 years. We have a son who was born in April 1996. We live in Central Massachusetts with our dog Maggie (a black lab we adopted from the animal rescue league) and our cat Sam (a stray that adopted us) I graduated from college with a BFA in Theatre in 1993 (hence the name) and for a few years pursued a career as an actress. Then life took over and I got married, had a baby and decided to get a "real" job. In November 2004, I was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's disease. In December 2004, I was hospitalized for surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy. In December 2009, I was laid off from my job. In June 2010, my son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 14. Stick around to see what happens next!

Started Stalevo today

Started today.

Felt really dizzy all day and really really nauseous. Then I realized the Dr. told me to cut the patch in half when I started the Stalevo.

I cut it in half and within 30 min felt great!

Definitely feel a HUGE difference. I feel no stiffness in my body at all.

Guess this means I really have PD... This is the gold standard.
