About Me
I'm a California native who's a lucky woman! I'm married to a wonderful man who's been incredibly supportive. We have a young son who was dx'd with autism at the same time I found out I had Parkinson's. To round out the family, we have two cats.

Close Parkinson's Disease
I began to notice my hands shaking while I typed in June 2006. I thought it was nerves. I'm a typically confident interviewer, and had three job interviews in which my hands shook so much, I made light of it not knowing it was PD. I'm seeing a doctor at UCLA's Movement Disorders Clinic, Dr. Farag. A team of doctors from UCLA diagnosed me as having idiopathic PD. In addition, I seem to respond atypically to some of the drugs I've been prescribed so now my dx is "atypical idiopathic PD".
Treatments
Close Autism / Autism Spectrum
We began to notice our son doing odd things when he was 2-1/2 YO like walking on his toes. At playgroup, he would wander off and once I returned to work, our son's caregiver apparently let him do whatever he wanted so he'd wander aimlessly picking up & carrying sticks. I knew there was a real problem when he would stand in our backyard staring at a tree, and not respond to his name. I thought he had gone deaf. In Nov 2007, I received the dx and researched autism. Now, it's time to thrive!
