Hi. My name is Marlys. I was diagnosed with Parkinsons about 2 years ago. I am a white female, 67 years old. I live in Kalispell, Mt. with my "Significant Other". Right now my medication (Sinemet) taken 3 times daily, is allowing me to lead a reasonably normal lifestyle. I am finding out that there actually is a life after Parkinsons was diagnosed.
Thank God.
I am looking forwarding to meeting some of you.

Hi, My name is Patricia. I am 71 and was diagnosed in 2000 and I take quite a complicated regime of meds. I had polio at age 13 and my education more or less ended there. I moved to Vancouver from Bristol, UK in 1980. Nevertheless, I have lived a full life in both countries and have kept smiling throughout. I am now in an Intermediate Care Facility and enjoy cheering up my co-residents, of whom quite a few are Parkinsons people, albeit most quite a bit older than I. I look forward to meeting more PP through this Forum and exchanging information. Keep smiling each and every one of you out there.

Hi Marlys, I'm Drew (male 62). Welcome to the Forum. I'm sure you will find it most interesting. I Live in Leicestershire with my soulmate better known as Elaine my wife. Confirmed PD 8 years ago. Yes there is life after/with(?) Parkinson's. My meds - 9 Sinemet/day plus some other bits and pieces. Attitude is vital I have found. Being positive, don't think too far ahead as to what may (or may not) happen. Live and love each day. Smile, laugh, the best medicine - it's free!. Pardon my ignorance but is Mt. Montana? Not important just curious. Be well, kindest regards.
