Welcome, @barb1922,

I see that you have been recently diagnosed with PD. I'm glad that you found this online support group. A diagnosis of PD is often hard to fathom, isn't it? When I was first diagnosed, I was having balance problems, foot dragging, one-sided weakness, and a very soft voice. The symptoms had been progressing over several years. Medication and regular exercise helped to control my symptoms.

I look forward to hearing about your journey with a PD diagnosis. What were your original symptoms? Have you started any medication or other therapies? What questions or concerns would you like to share?
