I was diagnosed aged 46 I'm now 53, it's a long hard road my diagnosis took 2 years to reach. I never ever thought that would be my diagnosis.

I was just diagnosed with young onset Parkinson’s at 33. I hope we find a cure. I can be a test subject if anyone finds a breakthrough. No kids or wife yet.

Unfortunately the medical system is so incredibly dismissive of women. I'm looking for my diagnosis too and I'm starting to consider Parkinson's as well.
