I too am new to this. I've been told that exercise is key to keeping symptoms at bay. when I exercise, I have found that to be the case. I just need to keep at it. Also, I was told to see a movement disorder specialist. I had my first "meeting" last week via zoom and my first in person is in 2 weeks. good luck and try to stay active---but don't shovel any snow

@emmit I have been going with a PT for a few months. The biggest problem I seem to have with her exercises are where she has me simulate walking and trying to move arms in the opposite direction to the leg on the same time. In other words when I step forward with right foot I'm suppose to have my left arm swing forward. I can do it once or twice but then have to stop and think about it.
Not sure if my insurance will keep paying for this much longer.
As for shoveling snow with low temps in the mid to upper forties don't think that will be a problem until at least middle of October around here
