Hello everyone, My name is David Goodman i’ve been diagnosed with parkinson’s 6/2023 I also have a identical twin brother. We were both diagnosed within a week apart. We’re 69 years old. I live in South Florida. My brother lives in South Carolina. I’m here to learn and listen to everyone’s journey and share mine. Please feel free to ask questions as I will do the same. Is there anyone from the west palm beach area.
Welcome. I was wondering if you and your twin have been tested for any of the genetic markers? It’s quite amazing that you both were diagnosed a week apart.
Im waiting for my test kit to come sometime in September
Welcome David! It’s great to have you here. What are your symptoms?
Well here we go my whole body was stiff like an Ironing board , I would Shuffle my feet , It was extremely hard to take a shower and get dressed due to the stiffness , It was hard for me to pick up items like silverware or even a Sandwich with my right hand. My right side would shake that would be my leg in my arm. I also became very nervous. It was also hard for me to get up from a chair without holding on to something. Since I been taking c/l 3 times a day im Symptom free except for a slight tremor in my right arm at something. Mike are you the guy on tik tok if so thank you I found this group because of you.
