Re: Atypical PD?
Judith, My Neuro tells me I am 'atypical Parkinson's', infact two other neuros failed to diagnosis it because I was so "young" (in my early 40's) and because I have no tremor. My symptoms are very slow movements, ridigity, balance, shuffling walk, ect. After being on this list for a while I find thats NOT so unusual to be that age or the lack of tremor.( I think a lot of physicians could 'go to school' right here on this PIEN list.) I still work full time in a somewhat demanding position, however I don't know how much longer as it is certainly getting more difficult. I have responded well to medicine-i take Sinemet CR 25/100, and mirapex, and if i'm late for a dose or sometimes if it has worn off i'm practically useless. My best of luck to you and to Tony in fighting this disease.
