The advantage of late onset / diagnosis

Docs say you don't die from PD.

For my part I would have to agree.

Hell, I'm seventy nine,

stuff must be waitin' in line

to decide what disease will get me.

Do they still write limericks in Limerick? Did they EVER write limericks in Limerick?

I'm 80, still driving and have P. My problems are a lot different than most of you. In many ways, not as bad. IE

I don't have any tremor except for my teeth. My biggest complaint is balance and walking

I should I have memory problems, thinking of the right word, writing you can' read. Can be told something and a minute later can't remember what it was. People I know really well, and I can't think of their name when I meet them.
