Hello @mzpattilyn and welcome to Mayo Connect and especially to the discussion about Parkinson's.
You mention your diagnosis and that the meds you have taken have had side effects. If you care to share more, how long ago were you diagnosed? What therapies were tried for your symptoms? (I'm thinking about physical therapy, water exercise, range of motion exercises, etc.) What meds did you try that resulted in side effects?
Please share this information as you are comfortable doing so. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Hi, I was diagnosed 7 months ago and the main symptom that took me to a neurologist was tremors in my hands. I was put on Topiramate, it worked well and calmed down the internal tremors and my restless legs. One of its side effects though is glaucoma, and I was having pains in my eyes. I am scheduled to see an Ophthalmologist.
