Much of the post on this forum are encouraging and would fill you with optimism, so if you have PD and you are looking for encouragement, support and next steps to feeling better mentally and physically... you're in the right place
For your last question (I'm not even sure if that's a question, but anyways) ....
Yes and no... to a large extent everyone over 80 declines in fitness and health generally, but you don't have to have PD or the symptoms
Even though old age decline in health comes with many symptoms such as slowness and bent back- you don't have to have PD
In fact worldwide less than 2% of people ever have PD, which means it is still a disease of the minority
So you don't have to have the symptoms
i was dx in 2013 with pd i dont want you to think i was being facetious i have been lifted by the many posts i have read on this site with regards age,the main current probs i have is tremor and excruciating lower back pain which gives the impression of walking like a question mark
Are you constipated? I had a tremor and a funny walk and constipation. That was enough for the neuro to put me on Sinemet. The tremor is three years old. The funny walk is because of a bad back going back 20 years. The constipation seemed to start after taking Sinemet.
when i was on simenet i had same prob my pd nurse suggested macrogol which i find did help to a great extent
