You have a good attitude. I have a friend Vicki, who A LONG TIME AGO, was diagnosed with Parkinsons. A very mild case. She was in her 50s at the time. She was not on any meds for a long time. A very long time.

She did go on meds eventually and she's doing great. But in her case, and it was her choice, she felt she didn't need to take them and she didn't.

So I wish you well on your journey.

Take care and Welcome to Neurotalks!!!
Thank you so much for your post, MelodyL. That is really encouraging. Is it possible that you could find out what the length of time was between diagnosis and and going on meds? Sorry to be a pest! It's just that I haven't met anybody else yet who was in that position. Ladybird
