I'm in a similar boat. Been noticing symptoms for about 4 years, on meds for a year and a half. It's becoming more apparent that I am not quite as fast as I used to be, either walking or working. Your time line and mine could be very different. My PD doctor says my time line so far is 'about average'. So how much time do I have? Time will tell. I've definitely started to appreciate all the things I can still do. I'd still like to clean up my act, cut down on caffeine, further reduce my smoking, exercise more regularly, etc. I think these things can only help. And read up. The more I know, the more questions I have, at this point. But I hope to learn more about how to take the meds, what foods are better, etc. Welcome to the club. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.
