It’s the first Thursday of June so it’s the YOPD zoom meeting tonight at 8pm UK time, see you there!
Hi all, newly diagnosed here 55 yrs quite fit and healthy so this is a major shock.
No support as such yet just diagnosis 12 days ago and promises of a confirmation letter,
specialist nurse support and immediately offered levadopa. Am doing my research being a college lecturer. Still in shock & disbelief mostly. Early days - could do with contact and support moving forward and to join meetings. Regards Mike
Hello @Mpcorb, welcome to the forum. We hope you find it a helpful place to connect, ask questions and hear from people who really get it.

Hi Mpcorb,
Firstly welcome.
I was also shocked, as I am sure we all are, when I first learned about my diagnosis, although I was a a lot older than you at 65.
As you, I do exercise a lot at gym and cycling, so I did not expect it.
I specifically held back for over a year before realizing that I must start taking the levadopa.
Luckily for me it is “slow” which I know is due to the exercise.
I also have seizures and know that after a time the body builds a tolerance to a level of medication, so I was trying to delay that process as long as possible.
I have been on the 1mg for about 4 years now, but realize I must soon now increase the dosage.
I hope that helps.
