Welcome to "Parkinsn" there are many caring people on this list and i think you will learn a lot from them. I was diagnosed at age 45. i am 61 now and i don't feel too bad now. i feel that there are some things about this Disease that i don't know even though i have been a Parkie for these 16+ years. I think I will always be learning . I think that this is the place where you will learn the most.
