Closure ain't what many of us get.

If you are doing ok and your symptoms are not troubling you get on with your life, do the things you want to do. And more if you can, exercise and live.

Waiting for a PD diagnosis could be like a small death if you don't. Oh and go easy on the meds. Less is more. Really.
