I'm not sure that there are any answers as to why some people develop Parkinson's while others don't. Is there anyone else in your family who has/or had PD? It is has been discovered that if you grew up on a farm, you can be more likely to develop PD.
The most important thing right now is to deal with PD treatment and exercise. If you would like more educational information about PD, you will find many articles and webinars on the Davis Phinney Foundation website.
Exercise is an important treatment for PD. Have you been referred for physical therapy to treat your PD?

@hopeful33250 "It is has been discovered that if you grew up on a farm, you can be more likely to develop PD."
I just joined this group, and this seems a very interesting statement. Is it the animals or possibly the chemicals? I didn't grow up on a farm but was diagnosed when I was 40. I kind of thought it was due to the anxiety that runs in my family and some unknown other factor.
