I am new here. I look forward to meeting more folks, especially those with Parkinson's. I was diagnosed in 2010, at age 55, but was somewhat in denial, and was diagnosed with Lyme's later in 2010. So that led to getting worse pd symptoms until I landed in the hospital in 2013. But prior to all that I thought I was healthy, and took no medicine at all. I'm still of the mind that the body has innate wisdom and can heal under the right circumstances. I am better now than I have been for several years and I am grateful for all tools, including medicine.
