Newly diagnosed - looking to connect

Newly diagnosed. Tremor and leg freezing. Need pd friends.

  1. Hi just wanted to pop in here to see how you have been doing lately? Have you been able to connect with anyone? Our community is here to support you in any way we can. Wishing you well. Kindly, Jessica, Team Member

    1. Would love to connect with you, I am just diagnosed too... Never expected this...tremors, falling, also freezing, please feel free to let me know, if you just need a safe place to vent.

      1. I try to tell myself - at least I'm not dying from cancer, but it rings hollow in my mind. PD feels like a thief I can't catch, always taking, taking, taking. For me, fear of the unknown sends chills down my spine. What's next?

        1. Newly diagnosed as well, love to connect, I am scared to death
