not bad compared to some. sometimes symptoms develop very fast, sometimes the meds dont work at all. other have very slow development and need little meds.to me, you sound about average.
anyway,welcome and i hope you find it useful and friendly here.

Welcome to arnieboy and Russ,
I am sure you will find a huge amount of support on this forum and a lot of useful information to help you and this path of pd.
It is always a shock and difficult when you are first diagnosed with a long term condition but after a while you manage to turn a negative into a positive well you can try and most times it works.
My husband has had pd for almost 30years( he was 39) and I was disabled at 29yrs, I remember the first time I went out in a wheelchair we went forty miles to a seaside town so I wouldn't meet anyone I knew and then a second trip to another town where I bumped into a friend I hadn't seen for a couple of years and she was crippled with another condition so we just laughed together, now I look upon the wheelchair as a useful tool which has opened up my life accept for the usual problems of getting around, you always have to check you can get into places before making arrangements.
My husband and I have made a life and been busy it is just not the life most people have just different.
I hope you both enjoy much support and friendship on the forum as I am sure you will, and don't forget if you have a partner they need support to enable them to support you.
my very best wishes
