Sandor, welcome to our group!
My advice to a young person like yourself is if the medications are working
keep living your life to the fullest. PD+ syndromes are hard to diagnose
and are subject to error. I have several acquaintences who had been
diagnosed with Shy Drager and they have outlived their diagnosis. If one
tends to believe in a bad outcome...how sad it is to wait one day at a time
for the grim reaper. On the otherhand, folks like you that are active in a
career, with a young family can continue on providing and enjoying what
there is to behold. Don't stop just be aware that all have their days
numbered. Anticipate life and enjoy your family..and future grand children.
Welcome again.
