Biography

I am 76. Mother of 5.  Raising my granddaughter now 19.  Twenty years ago, finished my masters in counseling.  I am licensed and currently practice part time. Recently diagnosed (l year ago).  PD does not interfere with my life but I have major concerns about my future.  I exercise 3-4 times a week an lift weights every other day.The unknown is what bothers me most.

I still cannot figure out the advantage of knowing you have PD if it isn’t bothersome since there is no treatment or cure.

When first diagnosed, I was really upset and well understand why anxiety and depression are so easily associated with this disease.

Finally a year later, I don’t think about it every day.
