Just want to add that I wonder what kind of neurological exam you had. Did you have to try finger-tapping, or rotating your hands in a hands-up position, or patting your hands on your knees, or the like? Do you have trouble with speech or cognition or balance?

How old are you? All "typical" statements such as mine above are not valid for very young onset PD.

We all have fears about what we'll have to deal with. My own preference is to face them down when they come up, and then not to think about them too much, but grieving from time to time if necessary. It helps to believe God is comforting me and will continue to do so, not that I'm pushing that idea on anyone.

And don't borrow trouble by reading up on diseases. Go out and take a stroll in a park or something. This is a day of your life, to be enjoyed.

Best of luck, Robert.
