Hi, my name is Brian and I was diagnosed with PD in 2011 - no big deal and I'm 60 so I can't complain! Symptoms started around 2008 but little did I know back then.

I live in the San Francisco bay area, hang out at some local support groups and the Sunnyvale Parkinson's Institute where I'm participating in the MJFF Parkinson's Permanent Marker Initiative (PPMI) study. Lots of fun and I get a free DatScan.

I'm not taking meds and am exploring so called complementary and alternative medicines and practices (CAM). Doing some qigong, tai chi, meditation etc. Heavy drugs are last resort.

Best Regards,
Brian
