I'm in my 23d year of PD, onset at nearly age 34--summer of 1996. Yes, things are getting ugly these days.
I was wondering if anyone else here has gone through this? I feel like I should put it to "some" good use. For the first time in my life, I literally "experience" no fear. That has to be good for something.
Thanks to all.

NO Fear? none at all? Is it sort of a "well eff everything" kind of experience?That is REALLY interesting...but scary to me ...lol. (not sure who i would become without some measure of humility) It was/is for this reason I stay (ed)away from agonists. I see reading another of your posts you also decline from taking agonists.
I experience very little dyskinesia with mucuna (dosed often but at this stage somewhat unpredictably) + very low dose sinemet but now experience convulsions in my hips with on/off dilemma.
I mark my "acute to stubbornly persistent" parkinsonism pattern about 25 years ago age 36 (resting tremor , cogwheel rigidity etc etc (forgotten the rest) ... or perhaps I've just grown weary of attempting explanations- especially bout symptoms.
Kind regards,
