I was diagnosed in March 2019 at the age of 69. I just had a mild tremor in my right thumb as I still do! My other symptoms are still reasonably minor, I have a soft voice but if I focus I can speak normally. I suffer from a little stiffness from time to time! I take sinmet four times a day, with low doses of madopar. I also take a  low dose of Xadago as well as a number of vitamins; b12, D, Evening Primrose Oil, coenzyme Q10, fish oil olive oil and curcumin. I exercise 6 times a week under the supervision of an exercise therapist with 3 gym sessions, a boxing and 2 yoga sessions each of about an hour epexercise 6 times aweek under the guidance of an exercise physiologist.
