Nice to meet you Lilvout, I'm Barb and I'm new here too. I have been diagnosed 7 years and I am better than I was when I was diagnosed. I would say that 95% of this is attitude. I found that the earlier that you "own" your condition and get comfortable with it, the better off you will be. Do I wish I didn't have pd? Hell yes. But the fact is I do. That is my reality, and you HAVE to live with your reality, I refuse to be embarrased or ashamed of it. Please don't waste your time worrying about how it will end, what if you got run over by a bus, look at the life you wasted. I've always believed that what you laugh at can't hurt you, and I have some funny funny stories about days when pd was running the show. As far as the outcome being the same for everyone, isn't that true for every one that is living now? Aren't we all going to die?? I hope you can make peace with it and live well
then, and only then, when its your time to go, concentrate on finishing well.
