Same story here, about 7+ years ago, we would go for a walk & my husband would say,"why aren't you swinging your right arm, you carry it like it's broken?" I remember telling him, I didn't know, but when I forced myself, it felt like I was swinging someone else arm. Not that it was numb, it just felt "funny". That was the descripive word I used when I went to the neurologist for the first time, complaining of my right arm, ache, tingling, stiff and just felt different, felt "funny".
About the same time, I noticed my hand writing, which had always been small,was even smaller and even I had trouble reading it. Little did we know what was in store for us. Now that we think back, probably like the rest of you, we feel like I had PD at least 2-3 years before the diagnosis.
