@bobbieingeorgia Hello and welcome to Mayo Connect. I am also happy that you found this forum so quickly. We have many members who are more than willing to be supportive and helpful to you. We all recall the day when we received the diagnosis and remember that it was understandably a shock. I would like to invite our members to join me in welcoming you, @chrisj2491 @denie57 @johnjames @trouble4343 @ggopher @tntredhead @aperob @caryp43 @burgle @macbeth @knightkris @mariemarie @pjsammy @techi @sandycerem. We look forward to getting to know you better. Please share with us, as you feel comfortable doing so, a little information as to how this PD diagnosis came about. Have you been noticing changes for a long time? What symptoms led your doctor to diagnosis PD? Teresa

Hi Bobbie, 

It was a shock, but at least it replaced uncertainty over seemingly random symptoms with something that had a name and treatment.

A medical team you trust is critical, but this group is a great resource of folks with personal experience.
