As many of you will know my late OH had Parkinsons. I have just heard from my brother that he too has received the same diagnosis. I am gutted.

I had begun to think this might be the case but hoped it might be otherwise.

It beings it all back.

I am so sorry, Luckygirl, this is not something you wanted to deal with again. Hope the progress is slow and not tormenting the way it was for your DH. I wouldn’t wish my late DH’s last year on anyone and hope good care and support are available, though just at present that feels like a forlorn hope.

The ward where I volunteer has many Parkinson's patients as it's the Consultant's speciality. The variety of symptoms and their apparent severity is marked. Some don't seem to have huge problems but others clearly do.
Obviously, they're in hospital but sometimes for things like strokes or falls rather than Parkinson's. I do hope your family member is one of the lucky ones whose illness is well managed for as long as possible.
