    Hello, I am new to this site but find this question very interesting. Sometimes I’m still in denial that I have Parkinson’s disease. How did I get this?  How does anyone get this? I am 60 years old and was diagnosed 7 years ago. I am/was very active, biking, skiing, group fitness. No tremor, I did not fit the profile.

    I had severe sinus infections in my early 30’s and at one point was on an extended prescription of strong antibiotics. Shortly after I developed rectal bleeding after running or other strenuous exercise. At age 34 I had a colonoscopy and everything was normal. I then got pregnant with my 3rd child and the bleeding stopped. My gastroenterologist thought this might happen due to hormonal changes. I can’t help but wonder if the changes in my gut biome at that time may have been the beginning of my PD.

    Does anyone have thoughts on this?
