Hello and welcome to the forum
I was dx at the age of 48 and that was 5 years ago.
It is a hard thing when thinking about the future, just try and take one day at a time. I have my good days and I have my off days. It can and is so easy to get down and depressed with this cruel disease.

It is difficult also for family members who are unsure what to say and they too are trying to cope with the dx of your Parkinson'S. Enjoy your family and beautiful grand children. I have a daughter of 36 and a gorgeous grandson of 5 and they are my reason to keep going. Keep posting and let us know how things are.

Love PB x

Hi neenag I constantly catch my toes and stumble although my balance is still good so mainly remain upright

The wi-fit is supposed to be good if you have balance issues so if you have one!

On your other worries remember don't dwell on the past; live in the now! the future is a foreign land to everyone.

Be good to yourself!!!

guys let me tell you a little about myself whilst i am in a good place, I currently work as a team manager supporting people with learning disabilities,challenging behaviour,epilepsy and autism. We teach life skills and integration and acceptance in to society. We believe everyone should have an important part to play, however small,in society and be heard as an individual. My current employers accept my disability and listen to me when I have off days.Parkinson has robbed me greatly of my former life..but..life goes on,,unless im having an off day.
As time goes on you will see I have a strange sense of humour..daft some days..but this has helped me through many trials in my life. I cannot stay negative for long.
My 8 year old daughter came home upset one day because she came last in a race.I asked her if she ran all the way, she said she had. I told her not to cry but think of a child who had lost their legs....they would have been happy just to have run the race . she thought a while and said"mummy you are right", I hope she grows up being able to reason well and not be selfish.
finally....I do hope Im not too nutty for you all lol

By the way... my bruises are looking goooood !!!!

hi Neenag well coincidence abounds I am a social worker IRO in children's services I too have a strange sense of humour comes with the job! So really understand my kids now 21 and 25yrs but the indoctrination works they are nice folk! good luck

Well what a coincidence I was a social worker with children's services for 26 years before I retired 4 years ago, due to my PD. So I fully understand the dark humor thing, I think we develop it to protect ourselves from some of the more nasty things that we come across.

Wonder if the stress that comes with this sort of working environment has anything to do with our conditions? Interesting!!

Hey you two can be my side kicks then lol I do feel stress has a big part to play, My childhood and first marriage left a lot to be desired..in fact..its a wonder im not a patient somewhere The sad thing is I met a lovely man and settled to a happier positive life only to start with pd symptoms within 2 years. It seemed once my body wasnt fighting any more stress pd crept in.. but hey ho...life!!!
