Like I said, my husband is 42. He was diagnosed about 5 years ago. It started with his right hand and has moved to his right leg. He shuffles and sometimes he trips when walking. He used to be able to control the shaking, but can't anymore. It's almost unbearable for him. It's hard for him to work with the shaking. He has extreme difficulties with sleeping and is up most of the night or roaming the house. We have discussions and he tells me we didn't, which makes me think I'm crazy. At first, he took medication, but no longer does. He said it makes him sick and is hard for him to exercise when he's on the meds because it makes him dizzy. He's tried about three different kinds. He said that this disease will not kill him so the meds are really not necessary. He has also began to stutter when he's talking. I'm curious what stage you are in and what stage you think my husband is in. He's also been complaining of a back ache which he says came from exercising. He's going to a chiropractor for that. Thanks for your time.
