I would say you need someone who supports you and listens to you (significant other, friend, online groups)
and donot let PD dominate your life
BE positive!

If you're an information seeker, learn all that you can through good internet sources like this forum and PD organizations web sites plus up to date books. Find a neurologist who will respect your involvement in your treatment and respond to reasonable queries. And try not to freak out when you read about symptoms that scare you. Chances are you may never experience them or if so, it may be far down the road. And I'll repeat Pam's have fun and have a good attitude!
