I’m a newbie here, within the last week I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. My depression and anxiety and panic started when I was 16, and I am now 67. I had a loss of smell back when I was about in my 20s. But never thought anything about it. Over the many years I’ve had many symptoms tremor unsteadiness on my feet, pain due to arthritis or so I thought. I don’t want Parkinson’s, but I am relieved to know that the symptoms I have are related because I always felt that they were and that there was a bigger picture of things that nobody could figure out. I hope you do well on your journey.❣️

Hi Chris, isn’t it amazing how every condition one has had in the past seems to be related to PD? I’m 77 and was diagnosed almost a year ago. Does anyone know if a condition - let’s say chronic constipation -must be linked to PD, even if the condition began in early adulthood.?
Wishing you good health!
