Hi, @stephenmcelroy - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Wow - yesterday - that is a very new diagnosis. Despite the significant news with now knowing you have Parkinson's disease, sounds like you are taking it as it comes. Kudos to you for already being out there researching.

If you click on VIEW & REPLY in your email notification, you will see the whole discussion and can join in, meet, and participate with other members talking about their or their loved ones' experiences.

I'd like you to meet others who have talked about Parkinson's here, either in themselves or a loved one, like @hopeful33250 @ramblyn @dfelix @anna1060 @ggopher @susan62 @alistair01 @johnjames @brittalisse @pammettee @maxaz1 @numbskull @dianalee @lsdempsey @mariemarie @davidcana. They may have some input for you as a newly diagnosed Parkinson's patient from their own experiences.

What would you say is your biggest concern or question at this point, @stephenmcelroy?

My biggest concern is how and when to tell my wife and other family and friend about this. I attend a small church and told my church family and asked to be in their prayers. I will be talking to my pastor this week one on one to get a perspective on informing all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
