I was diagnosed with YOPD Aug 2006 , at 34 yrs old. I have had symptoms for years, but they never added up together as something like Parkinsons. Now 3 1/2 yrs from diagnosis and 2 1/2 yrs on long term dissability i've been approved for SSDI. I want everyone to know that it is sometimes a struggle with SS, but it can be won. It may take you some time, but keep on pushing and you can get the help that is there for us all.
