My legs are only a little affected. My arms are badly affected. The biggest impact on the quality of my life, however, comes from non-motor symptoms such as constipation.

Initially my left side was unaffected. About 4 years after diagnosis problems started there too, but they lag behind those of the right. I think that it is normal for PD to start on one side, but to become bilateral.
