If so how are treatments there -- do you have much support & are you made to feel valued/included by others ?

Epidemics of cholera, malaria, rabies and African hemorrhagic fevers like Marburg hemorrhagic fever, are common diseases in several parts of Angola. Many regions have high incidence rates of tuberculosis and high HIV prevalence rates.

Dengue, filariasis, leishmaniasis, and onchocerciasis (river blindness) are other diseases carried by insects that also occur in the region. Angola has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world and one of the world's lowest life expectancies.

I think they have far worse problems to consider than PD!
