Default Yes I remember ...

signs from early days, (5 years old ish).

i) As a child I had OCD, Habits, (such as touching things in an order, etc), and a stammer.
ii) My handwrighting was awful.
iii) We always said I was left handed but my mother (different generation), forced me to be right handed. I was ambidextrous for many things, brush teeth with either hand, left footed, play pool left handed, bat right handed at cricket, etc.
My PD now affects my right hand predominantly, so I am probably right handed but had to do some things left handed due to the PD.
iv) I remember at about 15 running at school and wondering why I was moving slower than others, as I was in pretty good shape and should have been faster than I was.
v) At a martial art I used to do at age 30, (10 years before dx), my right side was harder to stretch, (this is my side affected most by PD).

So I had a number of signs going back all my life. This is why I hope that if I have had PD for so long and am still OK, things can stabalise and perhaps get better.

Love to hear if anyone else had signs.

Take care,
Neil.
