Early onset Parkinson’s

[wingnut1980]

Hi guys,

Posting under another username…

I by no means feel like I am the worst off person in the world but could use a vent now and again…. I have a beautiful wife, wonderful son, great career, but I sometimes struggle to take enjoyment from it all.

Diagnosed last year at 42yo with early onset Parkinson’s so I’m pretty sure the lack of dopamine is the root cause of the above. Have always been conscious of being old ahead of my years so the Parkinson’s and a rapidly receding hairline hasn’t done me any favours…. Saddens me that i seem to have rapidly become very middle aged....

Anyone else get where I’m coming from?

Anyway, vent over.

Can’t offer anything but sympathies, that sounds sub optimal. Lots of progress with Parkinson’s research so crossed fingers for you.
