Carolyn Stephenson was working her way up the corporate ladder, putting in 50-, sometimes 60-hour weeks at the office. She worked in human resources and employee benefits in Florida, and will never forget when one of her interns pointed something out, something she had never really paid attention to before. "She noticed a tremor in my thumb," Stephenson, 59, said. She was 45 years old at the time. Too young to think she would have to retire soon. After about 9 months of visiting physicians and specialists, and a little research on her own, Stephenson learned she had Parkinson's disease.
