Hello Dilruth,

Welcome to the forum which I am sure you will find very helpful and informative, My husband has had PD for almost thirty years and was diagnosed in his late thirties. I hope we hear from again soon and if you have any questions I am sure you will get the answers on here.
best wishes
vivian

Hello Dilruth,

Welcome to the Forum and it's many friendly members. I hope one day that your father-in-law will join us as well so that he can post his comments and questions direct. Not for one moment does this mean you are not welcome, you are a obviously a kind and caring person and we will help you where ever we feel qualified to.

Hi Dilruth

Hi Dilruth...

.... warm welcome to the Forum... you've come to a good place as many have already outlined...

Am about to go off on holiday in a few days time, but just wanted to say we're also from Kent (down the "far end" near the Channel Tunnel)... so specially good to meet you...

My name is David... am a retired School Bursar (hence the Forum name).. 66 years
(young?).. lovely wife and two kids in their thirties... two cats... and Parkinsons!!

... affects me by stiffness, slowness.. various other occasional quirks (think it's got a sense of humour cos you don't always know till you get up)... oh.. and a droopy eyelid.. On Pramipexole and Azilect, go to the gym and try to keep going - but some days, must admit, have to have a little weep (but many others have confessed to that too)... Under wonderful Consultant at William Harvey Hospital in Ashford..

Please keep in touch... and who knows, if you're local-ish???

Warmest wishes... bursardavid..
