I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in April of 2007, after having increasingly severe symptoms starting in October of 2002. It took until the fall of 2008 before my meds allowed me to write and type normally again. And it wasn’t until the summer of 2010 before more adjustment of medication allowed me to walk normally most of the day. I was a big believer in exercise before, and am even more of a fan now - I would not have nearly such good control of my symptoms without it. I've put a number of my exercise posts at http://home.earthlink.net/~strkl/goals.html .
