I am 67 years old. I was diagnosed about four years ago. So far I am progressing slow. I have a tremor in my right hand but my meds control it most of the time. I have Rem sleep and have gotten up at night and have fallen several times, so my husband put rails on my bed, and it has worked well. My family is very supportive. I have had alot of health issues...breast cancer, heart problems, and now PD. I try to be strong but it is hard. This web site helps alot and I go to a wonderful support group. Love you all.
