Hi again! She has had PD for about 13 years. She has a pretty pronounced tremor in one arm and that makes it difficult for her to write, etc. But, like I said before, she is amazing. Just like the ever-ready bunny...just keeps going strong. She does take a nap in the afternoon, and that gives her the lift that she needs to make dinner, go to shows, etc. She helps at her church, has alot of friends, runs around after my Dad and always making food for somebody and loves to shop. She takes a multi-vitamen, calcium pills and her PD meds a few times a day and really doesn't like to take pills. She is really faithful taking everything because she realizes that life seems to be better with it all. Amantadine included. You can see why she doesn't mind taking that! If you can, ask your doc for some samples and see if it helps you before you have to fork out money for it. Take care and good luck with your decision~
