i am 34 and was just diagnosed with parkinson's. i have mild tremors in my right arm and in my head. i also have several other symptoms. i too am a mother and i did not want to be on medication for the rest of my life. i thought about it and realized that i also didn't want to miss out on the rest of my life and if taking a pill once a day can help me to enjoy life with my children and husband and family then it is definitely worth it. i am completely freaking out that i have pd, i just have to take it one day at a time. i am trying to live "without it". the more i think about it the worse i get. i do hope that your symptoms don't get any worse, i will keep you in my prayers along with everyone else who has pd.
