Thanks this seems helpful to understand variety of stuff going on. I am a newcomer on this site:
(1) a PwP
(2) Aged 55 at diagnosis of Parkinson's (2 years after first concern)
(3) April 2011 I was diagnosed
(4) Yesterday started Azilect, first medication
(5) no other meds, but will build regular exercise into my treatment plan!
Aren't symptoms important too? I have rigidity and difficulties using hands and bending, etc, but no resting tremor
