Thank you all. I find comfort in knowing there’s a place I can share my experiences with others that are also dealing with PD. I am going to do my best to remain active and not allow PD to prevent me from doing things I enjoy. I am prepared to accept that I may not be able to do as much as I once did.

I’m new to this group and to PD. I have many “early” symptoms, but my earliest is frozen shoulder. It showed up out of no where about 9 mths ago. I’m very active and like to run and bike, but I have been unable to swim or do yoga. I’ve been going to PT for 3 mths now and my shoulder has improved to the point where I can swim again (with some pain). Other symptoms include night sweats, minor hand tremors, vivid dreams, sore and sometimes tingling feet, word loss, jaw clenching, and fatigue.

I’m going to do my best to maintain a healthy life style but I’m worried that PD may prevent me from doing many things I enjoy.

I’m unsure of what’s too much? Do I need to change my expectations? Or should I continue to do everything my body allows me to do?
