At this time, I'm still being treated for seizures and my doctor is trying to get them under control. The Dilantin® medicine is not agreeing with me and now she is starting me on the PD medicine Sinemet®. I'm in stage one and even though the signs of PD is not visible to people who know me, everything is happening so fast I need time to digest all this!
Young Onset PD is what I have (I'm only 43 at the time) so my doctor suggests I go to a support group for people living with PD. This is a good idea. I can talk to people dealing with and going through PD and get a better perspective of what the future looks like. I find out the place and time and decide to go. I wasn't prepared at all for this meeting! I had nothing in common with this group but the name of the disease. The group was made up of people who were far advanced than me. I stayed but cried the entire time I was there. Was this what I had to look forward to in my future?
