Dad has it, sister has it, now me.

I've recently been diagnosed with parkinson's. I've also had a coronary bypass and and I am on meds for CAD. We've been trying different meds for my termors and nothing is working yet. I'm 51 and my symtoms are getting quite bad. I also get very tired on some days. Another thing I've noticed is there is my symtoms can vary greatly on a day-to-day basis. Once we find the right drug will it even things out? Some days the tremors are so bad I have trouble eating and the muscle cramping really is wearing on me. The strange part is this all happened so fast. It's been less than six months since it became bad and naturally I'm worried with the speed. My dad had a samll tremor all his life and it didn't become full blown parkinson's until his middle sixities. My sister was diagnosed at 46 and hers is somewhat under control now. But mine seems to be changing faster than both of theirs. Is this par for the course? To make matter worse my COBRA runs out in Feb. Try getting insurance at 51 with coronary artery diease, high blood presure and parkinson's. I'm frustrated, tired and not sure what to do? I'm open to any sugestions or encouragement. Thanks for reading this.

I'm 45 and have recently been diagnosed with PD. Right now it's relatively mild and my doctors have recommended taking selegiline or parnate. The parnate involves following a diet (basically foods that are to be avoided). Has anybody used either of these drugs and, if so, what kind of results were experienced? Was the restricted diet difficult to follow?
