In college, I had a noticeable gait, and arms that never swung. Friends could spot me across campus as I was easy to pick me out of a crowd. So years later they would repeat that to my wife.

I also knew for my leg that would never remain still. Just who I was.

Last year I was given a Dx of Parkinson's Disease. So for 35 years I just continued on, received my degree in Engineering. Raised a family. Retirement is still some years off. I had told a close friend my biggest feat is cognitive issues, as I make little mistakes. He did laugh it off as he commented even if I have slowed down I'm still far ahead of everyone else.

The bottom line is diet, exercise, and getting a good nights sleep. That is the best medicine. If you can afford a personal trainer to make sure you work out, do it. That is all it takes.

Fellow at my Doctors office was Dx at age 50, and at 92 is still moving! I suspect his secret is long walks and remaining active.
