Dear Joao,
 I was diagnosed in 1997, I take a small amount of Sinemet that is carbidopa
and levodopa. I run and do yoga to keep in shape, I have bad balance and the
running and yoga help me there. I also have tremor in my right hand and arm,
and if I have had a hard day no sit down time then I have a shuffle in the
evening. I also take Requip and do lots of vitamins and eat well. Janice
