Short Bio

Diagnosed with PD a few months ago after a year of merely tolerating a tremor that a nurse-practitioner said was benign and didn’t even suggest a workup. Switched to a new care provider who jumped right on it and was diagnosed shortly thereafter. I am a registered nurse and the tremor made it impossible for me to continue as a nurse (patients don’t like you coming at them with a shaky hand and a needle, go figure!) so I was forced to retire. I am in the early stages of adjusting to both the diagnosis and retirement.  Not fond of either, so I am hoping to get answers and support in this forum.

How long have you or the person that you are caring for had PD?

Perhaps two years, perhaps more, unsure when it began.
