Thanks in advance - Martha Hi Martha, Look here.... http://www.geocities.com/janet313/pienet/6th/pdlink.html scroll down to Glossary for answer to first questions.... The numbers? Well Murray 55 / 49 / 38 is Age 55 now.... Age 49 when officially diagnosed... Age 38 when first symptoms occurred.... Some people do the numbers a little different as in Murray 55 / 6 / 17 (Age 55, 6years since dx, 17 years since first symptoms) I generally don't bother with the #'s cuz they're just..... numbers. The numbers don't mean much because we are all totally individual in our parkinson's and our progression / coping / etc. All the best ..... murray
