Gail,

PD just runs different for everyone. We each have our own set of symptoms that
may run from mild to severe. Fortunately mine is still confined mostly to my
left side, at least under normal circumstances. Boy when I get into a stress
situation though both sides can really rattle. I have several stiff muscles and
joints, some of which can get really painful. My dexterity with the left hand
has really suffered too. I always carried my wallet and other things in my left
pockets in the past. I've recently had to move everything the right side because
I had a lot of trouble getting things in and out of my pockets. Especially when
I had problems in front of other people it really got bad. It made the rattles
and the problems even worse.

Guess none of this is much help for you but just have patience and be there
for support. I wish you all good luck.

Jim
