@kathy49 Well, it's your choice, but telling close friends has its advantages. One person ended up telling they had two in their family with Parkinsons, so it worked out. I wonder many people actually have Parkinsons.

I think way more people have it than are actually diagnosed. Often it can be as you say and you feel not alone and realize it is not that uncommon but so far that has not been the case for me. I also think it depends on how controlled your symptoms are. It is an adventure.

I think many millions more than have been diagnosed.
Who have symptoms, but never happened to encounter a doctor with the training to recognize them. 🙁
