I vote do not change from the present ID of present age/years since diagnosis. The date of years of probable symptoms is so subjective as to be of questionable value. How old a pwp is right now and how long the pwp has actually been diagnosed and therefore dealing with the disease sheds light as to where the person is in chronological age(young, middle age or nearing retirement) and in stage(s) of dealing w/the disease.
