I appreciate you sharing about your journey with PD and all of the symptoms that led to the diagnosis. It does help when we share our experiences! The symptoms of PD do come on slowly and create many problems before a correct diagnosis and medications are prescribed.
My symptoms were much the same; however, I've never had the tremors. Balance, gait, and stiffness were my main complaints before I received a diagnosis.
The correct medication, combined with regular exercise (such as yoga, Tai Chi, or other activities you enjoy), is a great way to help control symptoms. While exercise is not a complete cure, it is very helpful for maintaining flexibility and improving balance.
