Hi Radioguy,
I'm GregD 49 and have been dx'ed since 2000. I just remember seeing some of your post on the old forum just as I started.
As for the regular neuro knowing what PD is I doubt it. I told one all knowing neuro it didn't take a rocket scientist to be a neurologist. My 4 year old could have done as much as he did for me. He didn't like that much.
I don't seem to be able to pretend I don't have the PD. However, I'm into woodturning and some times I can lose myself in what I am doing and not notice it at all. Usually I go too long between meds and end up paying for it later.
