I just got diagnosed with PD. I am new to the disease and I am not on any meds yet. Anyway It seems like my symptoms are not showing any kind of pattern except that I usually wake up in the morning with very stiff calves and because of the stiffness I can only walk using very small steps Other than that this is how the day starts.... At any given time I can have 6 or 7 hours of 90% normal condition virtually symptom frees On the next day I may have 6 or 7 hour of severely weak knees to the point that I can bearly walk. And when I am like this I walk like a classic case of a person that has PD. I wanted to know if it is a common occurrence that symptoms come an go like this.
