Thanks for your welcoming message requesting intro comments about me. Since I am very new to this whole connect group and PD I'm not sure what to say. It was more of an accident that I ended up here. I was just poking around in the Mayo directory looking for information on Parkinsons.
I was officially diagnosed with Parkinsons disease little over a year ago. It was a relief to have a name and information to go with all the odd and irritating things happening to my body. Of the 33 items on my WT*# list 24 were on the PD symptom list. What makes it difficult for me is how unpredictable my disfunctions are.
I am curious by nature. Really don't believe In accidents. PD has changed my life.

I can understand! When I first received a PD diagnosis, it was a relief to have a label for all of the limitations I had been experiencing over a 10-year period.
Have you started any medications or physical therapy yet?
