Hi Christine...I was 37 when I was diagnosed, not quite as young as you. Once I had 'come to terms' with the diagnosis and learnt to live with PD and not againgst it I found the daily depression lifted and I was left with what I describe as the occasional black clouds. I am a full time YAPP&RS (UK young onset PWP) and find by chanelling my energies into running the publicity side of the group, helps me to cope. Here in the UK there are several YAPP&Rs in their 20's and our co-ordinator for Scotland is now in her early 40's having had PD since she was 18. She wrote a very good booklet describing her experiences. I cannot answer your question about pregnancy....unfortuantely all my reference books have been lent out but I feel sure someone may have a view The best of luck and I feel sure you will find everyone on the list helpful. regards Emma
