On a couple of occasions on this forum I've mentioned that I have Parkinson's Disease (PD). I was diagnosed in 2013 but have probably had it for at least 10 years.
I want to share some of the insights I now have by posting here once or twice a week. My intention is to keep it pretty light.
I'd like to start with two early symptoms/warning signs that I missed.
1. I began to lose my sense of smell. My wife, Rosemary, is a human bloodhound when it comes to odours and here was I confident that my f*rts didn't smell anymore.
2. I don't swing my arms when I walk. Once again Rosemary would tell me "Swing your arms, people are looking at you funny".
It may be useful to know this information for yourself or a friend.
Please feel free to react to this thread and comments would be welcome. That's it for now.
