Should I take mam?

[Maxine12]

Hi everyone just a quick question,. Today at 2 o'clock the hospital near us (James Cook) has a big meeting on for people with psp, there is going to be a neurologist and Parkinson's nurses there. I am going with my brother, but shall I take mam who has the psp. I don't know what to do for the best! Some friends and family think it might be a bit too much information for her and others think it might be good for her, I don't want to make the wrong choice!! What would yous do???? Xxxx

Thanks Jill but it's not a friends and family meeting it's more about giving you information about the condition and with her just recently being diagnosed is it too much information to soon xxx

all I can say is as soon as I found out that I had psp I went straight onto the net and found out everything - so really it is down to you knowing your mum I guess ..

love Sharon xxx

Hi Maxine, Definitely take her, She will want to be aware of the future just as much as you, It's much easier to handle with no secrets to worry about., Peter, also in Yorkshire.

Hi Maxine, My husband has PSP and I go alone to meetings. My husband is in denial so I need to talk to people about my experience with this terrible disease. I find it is mostly families and carers and very few people with PSP at the meetings. Good Luck

If my wife were mobile I'd have taken her. If not mobile I might not have taken her. The PSP brain can absorb information so it might be good to take her but not mandatory. Jimbo

Too late now, only just picked up this post. However, if you did take your mam then it won't have done any harm for the professionals to see the effects?

Depends how your mam is reacting to having the condition.
