I am a 62 yr old male that was forced to retire in Dec 2006. I received my PD diagnosis while getting a second opinion about having back surgery. In July 2007 after much prodding from my bride(30+yrs) and my neurologist I started the Comal County Parkinson's Support Group. Thought I'd get it going then bow out after 3 or 4 months and go hide in a hole somewhere. Four years later we have grown from 6 to having over 160 folks registered with us(this includes spouses, caregivers and a few adult children). We have gone from meeting once a month to twice a month.
