I’m 68 and recently developed a right hand tremor. The doctor says it’s likely PD. I’m looking for others experiences and advice.

Get an appointment with a Movement Disorder Specialist Neurologist right away as it takes quite awhile to get in. And, see if your area has some type of Parkinsons Association. They have a lot of information. Best of luck.

Hello! It’s a little scary when you get that diagnosis! I assume it was your Neurologist that told you it was likely PD? Did he start you on medication? I was just diagnosed 3 months ago, and I’ve been trying to learn about the disease from various resources. If you can watch YouTube, there is a Davis Phinney Foundation that is focused on Parkinson’s Disease. They offer videos from doctors and medical professionals, webinars, panel discussions, etc. It’s an excellent resource. It you use AI for information, it’s very good too! I use ChatGPT to look up allot of information, I find it useful as well. I would say that you should be doing allot of reading and learning! Don’t panic!
