    I was diagnosed about 7 months ago….looking back I surely had symptoms 2 or 3 years previous….I have no tremors. and so far my only problem is walking slowly and cannot go very far….when people ask me why I can’t walk properly  I just say its from my hip replacement 1 yr ago…I don’t tell anyone what  I have….don’t want any sympathy …..it is what it is…,I am 79 yrs old and the doctor says I should be good for 10 yrs….who knows….just take it day by day…I do pool excersizes 3 times a week…..

    I am very lucky to have an indoor pool where I live (over 55 Community) and I go to water aerobics 3x a week.. it really helps me as far as better balance and strength ….I feel so. much better after I go.
