I usually manage to work, I am 59, have been diagnosed for 2 years now. I just work at being a temp, short term contract jobs, that last 2 months or so. It is not hard working, it is hard having to find work when you have Parkinsons. One thing about being a temp, you don't have to live with any work related stress. Anyway, I am sure that there are many Parkinsons patients who work. Work probably takes your mind off it, and the less you think about it, the better off you probably are. [log in to unmask]
