Thanks!! I have not started meds yet, i did have a meeting at Mayo to discuss DaT Scan results and evaluation. Thus far other than the tremor/shake in my right hand (odd only happens when i am not thinking about it??) I have been into physical fitness and annual workout goals for yrs. Currently I get in 3 hrs Zone 2, 600 air sqts, 400 pushups, 200 pullups, 2-Norwegian 4x4s,/wk plus flat/seated bench 2x/wk. trying to work my VO2Max above 50. Been reading about building mitochondrial function, physical and neurological plasticity and its affects on PD outcomes.

movement disorder specialist is a great idea. I had my first meeting with one yesterday and have a follow up in 4 weeks. from everything I've been told exercise is key and it sounds like you do more than people without PD so keep it up. I would also look into Beech band just google it and do your own research. it has helped me greatly with my tremors.
