    I’ve just recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and I totally relate to what John described as the beginning of his awareness of the disease. John, you are a real warrior and HUGE inspiration to me and many other new Parkinson’s patients. God bless you and give you many, many more years of abundant and happy life !!

    A problem is many non-motor symptoms including “irritability”, constipation, “sleep problems”, etc can be caused by things other than Parkinson’s. Also, many motor symptoms (Parkinsonisms) are common in old age (“Is it Parkinson’s or is it old age?”).

    My husband had it over 20 years. He had the dbs a long time ago. It’s progressing, to the point we’re looking at different treatments.
