Rod,
This Parkinsons is a manageable disease for at least five years. Though each case is different. Take as little meds as possible to get you able to work, drive,etc. Do not worry about what others see or think. Get as much rest as necessary and regular exercise. When five years have passed and you have the experience of management of the condition you can plan the next five. Most people like to assist others and our PD gives them an easy opportunity to help. There is lots of information available online and if you stumped ask here and you get many responses

Hello all
I was diagnosed by a neurologist in Florida over a year ago. It was hard for me to believe that I had Parkinson's so I got a second opinion.
Same diagnosis. I left Florida and moved back to Oklahoma where my family and got a third opinion hoping the the other two was a mistake.
The neurologist told me what I had before I even got to sit down in his office. I guess I will have to come to terms with this. I knew something was wrong. I just don't like to admit it. I have been looking for a support group for a while. Me and my family does not talk about the PD to much but I do notice that everytime I get around them it is as though they are watching me just so they can see me shake etc.
