Re: Atypical PD?

[susan robinson <susanbsm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carol or Diane,

Aren't there any medications that help balance and handwriting, even as
early as 2 years after diagnosis?  They are my main problems, plus some
rigidity, but no tremors, and I'm not even diagnosed yet!  When I am, is
there no effective help available for those symptoms?

Susan
