Please, tell me, is it true that if the PD is diagnosed in early ages, that illness progress much more faster then if you got it when you are older? And if it appear with nespecific simptoms (depression, insomnia, pain in the spinal, deformitet of feets or fists)?

I've read and heard the opposite is true. Non-motor symptoms such as the ones you mention are a focus of much research at this time because clinicians are realizing that these symptoms cause as many, if not more, problems for those living with PD.

This Australian web site has information in Croatian. I hope you find it useful.
Tnx!
I know it can "progress" more quickly, but more quickly can be a matter of context, too. More quickly than who? (aunt betty?, your next door neighbor, a friend of a friend?), more quickly than when? (Year 1, year 6, last month, this week, tomorrow?)
Our challenge in answering this with any kind of accuracy would be determining the "whos" and the when as well as whether your personal PD was operating inside the realm of the statistically borne out studies or someplace out in "left field". I'm not trying to be evasive here, but read these posts for a while and you'll find adequate evidence that PD is a "symptom du jour" type of disease that is further "custom made" for each of us.
Kokolu, I believe very strongly that if we allow PD to control us it will progress but if we develope a mind set that you are not going to let it ----------you will find a slower progression. I am frequently offered assistance but as long as I am able I will do things myself--------that is not to say that I won't accept assistance on those days that I am having a bad day----just use your common sense. Depression can be an issue with some, change in sleep patterns and deformity of feet---I have to say yes as I have both----------just need to work with your doctor on ways to relieve or accomodate things as they happen. Good luck. Gail
