Thanks qcpmsame. It's good to hear you have been able to keep riding. I found the Davis Phinney Foundation right after I got diagnosed and both downloaded and got a hard copy of their book -- as you say, it is an excellent resource. I saw my motion disorder specialist at the beginning of the month and she started me on a low dose of carbidopa/levodopa, I was sure I needed to deal with the tremor yet but she thought it would help with the stiffness in my back that was interfering with walking. She was right about that. I have now added 2 mile walks to my routine (before a mile was about it). No noticeable side effects from the meds. I hope to stay in there with you for many years.
