Hi all,
New to this and I'm wanting to connect with others. I was diagnosed with Parkinsons in2020 and would like to develop a kinship with others walking this path.

Hello,
Welcome to the group. I am a caregiver to my spouse who has Parkinsons. Everyone is here for the same reason. We all either have Parkinsons or we have a loved one who is going through whatever you are experiencing. I hope you feel welcomed to ask questions and just share if needed.🫂

Hello @emmys,

I want to join @sillyblone in welcoming you to the PD support group on Mayo Connect. It is helpful to meet others who are on this PD journey. I would enjoy getting to know you. Share as you are comfortable doing so, about your diagnosis.

For example, what were your first symptoms of PD? What treatments have you had (such as medication, physical therapy, etc.)?
