Welcome. However, unless you are absolutely sure, do yourself a favor and get a second opinion. You are starting a new life so be sure it is the right one. Mistaken DX is very high for PD with an "oops rate" of around 30% or so if I remember correctly.

I look forward to being a part of the family you guys created here. Thanks for accepting me, it's a bit scary when there are so many different symptoms. It's mind boggling how PD effects everyone in similar but at the same time differently.

I accept what I have but I'm a bit afraid to face it. I act strong in front of my wife and kids but I'm pretty ****! Im petrified!
