Hi I was diagnosed with PD just last month. I am 88 and my dad had it. My father had balance and falling when they diagnosed his PD. He was at least 80 and very active. I lived with him his last 2yrs. I was in my 60's . I supposedly had a stroke last year. My left leg went numb and left hand was .not Mobil. Hospital dr said it was not a stroke but a nerve in my neck mu neurologist said stroke
That started my balance e problem. Just 3mo ago they gave me all the test. DaT scan showed PD. I believe I did not have stroke it was the start of PD. I now have balance problems and stiffness hard to get in and out of bed and rise from sitting. I am trying to stay positive. Blessings
