Well.......I will add my name to the list of the "Vertically Challenged Folks w/PD".....I am 5'3" and have symptoms since age 29, diagnosed at age 31.......I know of two other gals my height who also have pd but I am not sure of their age at diagnosis..... I have my own curiousities concerning Pd...seems to me that those of us in their 30's that I have talked to who have this disease also have parents who were involved in WW2......makes me wonder what they were exposed to over in Europe...
