My wife was diagnosed a similar time ago, maybe a little less. She was
put straight on to madopar (co-beneldopa, aka sinemet etc), now at
100mg/25mg strength, 4-times a day.

Curious but then I think I presented early and quite young (52). Very
slight tremor, no other symptoms I was aware of, sent me to the GP.
Who refered me to the PD lot, one consultation later they were pretty
sure, based on tremor, slower finger taps in right hand, not swinging
right arm when walking. A DATscan confirmed it.

That is look at part number on one page, switch to another page to
enter it, er, what was it? Switch back, oh yes, switch, what? Once
somthing has got into storage it's there and recallable. Getting
something random, like a part number, stored is not fully
automatic
like it used to be.

I put similar problems down to my age. I write things down a lot!

Every one has the "what did I come here for?" moments but it'll come
with a bit of thought. This is different the information just isn't
there or if it was it has disappeared in fractions of a second.

And best wishes to you, also.

Ta, the next few weeks are going to be interesting. I'm hoping that
the sinemet will reduce the tremor but not pinning anything on that.
DBS seems a bit too risky for my liking (ATM, things will chnage...).
Not sure if the new ultrasound surgery will be any good for a PD
tremor, the patient in the news last year suffered from essential
tremor.
