I've been working with the Michael J Fox Foundation in their efforts to track PD biomarkers. Have an appointment tomorrow morning for DATscan/lumbar puncture. I'm spending the day getting psyched for it.

Thought about signing up but: I'm in the USA, over 50 when told I had PD (but believe I have had since about the time I turned 50) and was told I had it 6+ years ago. :(
