Unilateral Parkinson's disease, while possible, is not common.  Sometimes
such symptoms may be due to a Parkinson-like condition and not true PD.
Who made the original diagnosis, and what tests were done?  Did they
include MRI scans, etc.?  It might be well to get a second (diagnostic)
opinion.

Best,

Bob
