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.
