[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have young onset Parkinson's - first diagnosed in late 40s about 2 years ago.

There are no medications that slow the progression, but they can manage the symptoms considerably.  Additionally, it's now believed that large amounts of exercise can slow the progression substantially.

Additionally, my understanding (and experience) is that the first years after diagnosis are generally much better than the years that preceded diagnosis, in terms of quality of life.  So there are some positives ahead.

If things are are pointing towards Parkinson's, make sure that one of the evaluating neurologists is a movement disorder specialist - they specialize in Parkinson's and similar.[/quote]

PP - thanks for sharing your story. I'd like to hear more (I'm not OP but very interested). Have you considered a fecal transplant? Has anyone suggested it to you? They're mentioned in the Netflix doc Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut. Seems like a low risk treatment that could help.
