Parkinson’s ?

[Frozenoem]

Well, this is a kick in the posterior, have been diagnosed with PD. Before joining Groups for PD, I thought what the heck tremors no problem.

Now  reality is sinking in won’t be living in God’s country MAINE much longer, if the drugs don’t work as advertised.

Anybody experiencing the joy of this and how quick did your onset happen?

My brain is still working for the moment👍

Problem is friends that also have/had are now in worse shape or have crossed over.

Not trying for a pity party just need more input on drugs that work to slow progression- or how you and your family deal with this Disease..
