Hello to all. I was diagnosed with PD 1 year ago but had undiagnosed symptoms for 3 prior years. Age 72. My neuro put me on Eldepryl and anti-oxidant vitamins. I have read where exercise and keeping fit are as important as taking the medicine. I am staying as active physically as possible hoping that the PD progression will be curtailed appreciably. I play singles tennis 5x per week; exercise on the exercycle, doing situps and light weight lifting 1 hour per day; plus doing maintenance yard and auto chores. Play chess and do computer stuff for mental exercise. Does anyone have comments, positive or negative, about any exercise program that might help forestall PD? At this point in life, I view PD as a blessing as it has given me something that I feel I must overcome. Those who have rocks in their path often accomplish more that those whose path is unhampered.
