Hi, you shound like me, I was just diagnosed but felt I had the symptoms for a couple of years. I have been taking Requip which has given me back my life. I can now run and exersize which was something I had to give up because of the balance and feeling really unsteady on my feet. I am going to my first meeting this Thursday, the Young PD group, hope it is ok. I am somewhat nervous about attending but my daughter is a nurse and feels I need to go. My mother feels there will be people there worst off then me and I will get uipset! I will keep you posted on the meeting. It is good to hear from someone my age.

I am a 55 year old divorcee who lives in Sacramento, Calif. I live alone and have no family nearby. I was diagnosed with PD 9 years ago, but now realize I had symptoms several years prior to that. I work full time and am an active equestrian. I own my own palomino horse. I am a member of the Sheriff's Posse and rode on the drill team until a year ago. I gave it up when I began to feel nervous and felt like I couldn't properly control the horse. I still ride, but have stopped competing with the Posse. In an effort to find local support groups (there aren't any in my area) I found the APDA Young Parkinson's Info Center. They provided the information to join this site. Look forward to getting more acquainted. Happy Trails to You!
