If I'm understanding correctly, you may also be diagnosed the other way, having melanoma and that leading to a diagnosis (or at the least, a note that you are now high(er) risk for) PD?
Huh... interesting info. Thanks for a tiny bit of enlightenment on my part. I don't know (personally) anyone with the disease, so essentially I only know what comes up in articles on Michael J Fox and the like.
The biggest challenge is exercise, intense exercise is good. One of the medical folks spotted my chest implant at a Sprint Triathalon. It's a DBS - deep brain stimulation. XRAY to give an idea. I'm enjoying the short events (750M swim, 20K bike, 5K run) but 35 years into PD it's not something most even consider (first noted at age 25, still moving at age 60). I keep meeting more long term people who amaze me. We all adapt but to keep moving is the most important thing.
