Hi everyone,

My dad was diagnosed recently with PD.  He is 70, but I suspect he has had
PD for 2-3 years before the diagnosis.  His PD manifests itself in rigidity
and shuffling gait; he has no tremors.

I have no idea what stage he is in, or even how these stages are measured.

Also, is it strange that Dad has no tremors?  Does PD "normally" manifest
itself in tremors OR rigidity (as they seem to be opposite symptoms)?

If anyone can shed light, I would be grateful.

Michael, son of Wayne 70/69/68
