Gerry: Thank you for your post. I have been trying to find a place that PD started in my life. No leads except for tremors from about 5 years ago. But all of a sudden I remembered a hospital stint that I did. It was about 10-12 years ago. I kept having this horrible low back ache. On a Saturday, I had it so bad that I had my husband take me to the hospital. I could not stand, bend over, lay down, nothing was working. My GP looked at everything, decided to admit me. I was there a week and had every imanginable test, x-ray, blood, body scan and nothing showed up. I think I finally found what showed up. To bad no one said well maybe, instead of "Oh your just too young". Thank you so very much. Maybe the puzzle is together now. I am 47 years old. Gina 47/7 mos
