Hi. Your post really got my attention. I am 19 years old and I am also wondering if I may have PD. I know it seems young but I have so many of the symptoms. I am trying to get an appointment with my family doctor. These are the symptoms that I have read about that I am experiencing. My question is also, is it possible to have this at age 19. If anyone has any comments please share them.

-Some may feel a little shaky
-may feel irritable or depressed for no apparent reason.
-the person remains in a certain position for a long time
-may find that the shaking makes reading a newspaper difficult
-It is most obvious when the hand is at rest or when a person is under stress
-The muscles remain constantly tensed and contracted so that the person aches or feels stiff or weak
-The rigidity becomes obvious when another person tries to move the patient's arm, which will move only in ratchet-like or short, jerky movements known as "cogwheel" rigidity
-can cause patients to have a stooped posture in which the head is bowed and the shoulders are drooped.
-Depression. This is a common problem
-Some lose their motivation and become dependent on family members.
-uncharacteristically pessimistic
-Memory loss and slow thinking may occur
-speaking faster
-These include difficulty staying asleep at night, restless sleep, nightmares and emotional dreams, and drowsiness during the day
-Failure to swing one arm when walking
-achiness or discomfort of the neck or limbs
-Slow response to questions (bradyphrenia)
