the first dopamine agonist

Around 1992 or so,I started to take parlodel(bromocriptine), the first dopamine agonist.
For a long time before that, I had been taking only sinemet and artane.
(sinemet: 400mg per day, artane: 2 tabs per day)

At first, any change didn't appear.
But, after a interval, when I stopped to take this medicine, I had realised that effect clearly, the duration of medicinal virtues shortened.
Like that, the effect of parlodel is mild as compared to the other dopamine agonists.

one's life

Yesterday, a friend of mine passed away because of cancer.
He got disease around 2 years ago.
He lived his life in a hurry.

As for my disease(PD), it is so long and hard.
While his life looked beautiful, mine seems to be not so.
The disease is painful and life is not easy.
Therefore to live one's life is precious.

Going out alone

Now, I don't go out alone except near my house.
By power scooter, I can go out anywhere.
But I am afraid of getting on a train or walking on the crowded street.
I freeze and fall down when I'm surprised.
