feel like I have made a living at hiding it over the years for many different reasons.

Work - fear of getting fired if anyone found out, highly visible, client facing job, my charge out rate was £2,500 per day, who would pay that for "damaged goods" was my thoughts.

Home - hide it so as not to upset or frighten wife and kids.

In public - embarrassment, due to my youthful looks , no one believes I have PD, everyone thinks my tremors are due to drink or drugs, think I.

Perhaps I am wrong but from personal experience I find PD in a man in early 40's difficult to show and as a result I try to hide it as best I can.

Not the right thing to do, I found hiding things at work tremendously stressful, guess a lot of it is down to pride and a desire to be normal and fit in.

Perhaps not my most informative post (no mention of Spheramine you will note), but hope this rambling is of some interest.
