My name is Karen, 43 yr. old, dx. last December 98. Ive known I had PD for 4-5 yrs. Doctors in my tiny town in the desert ignored my symtoms,neurologists did not take me seriously either. My only support group here is made up of much older PD patients, who also do not take me seriously. Some have even questioned if I really do have PD because I am so young compared to them. I think the youngest in the support group is in his mid-sixties. I can understand their doubt, but I am still a curious sight to them. I've had full blown obvious symptoms for over a year, however as I have said, my symptoms started 4-5 yrs. ago. I would really appeciate ANYONE who is willing to chat with me who is YOP. I have no one here to support me with this much misunderstood thing called YOP... Sincerely and Thank You All. KAREN
