Like myself there must be other single people who suffers PD. How do you cope alone and how do you see the future. Do you thinking of getting a caregiver and at what stage?

i'm not only singe but out in the country. i keep my cell phone close, wear strechy clothes, bought kitchen gadgets, slicer, hand mixer, French fry thingy...... now all i need is an appetite which i 've often had to spike with my favoritr supplement, which unfortunately has 18mg of iron, and is screwing up my levocarb....
going on to mucuna proriens.

I'm in the process of switching my clothes - slip on shoes and clothes with buttons. Luckily I still drive. Hope you develop an appetite - maybe you need to change your menu or chef haha!
hi zadok well im 71 i have never thought of getting a care giver, get up take your meds every day and go walking and exercising, i have been doing it a long time you will be ok.trust me,,regards
Thank you for your encouragement - I know I will be ok. I already do what you suggests - I walk 2km a day. It is also important to socialize which I do. I was a competitive cyclist till age 50 which I'm grateful. My mother (87) lives with me - she has dementia so I take care of her and can't afford PD symptoms but I sometimes have to carry on regardless - I have the courage and commitment to succeed but sometimes you feel overwhelmed by it all. Thanks again
Thank you I don't feel courageously by any means Everyday is a new challenge
I am alone feeling depressed
I, too, am a caregiver, and I have Parkinson's. So, I can certainly empathize with how you feel! I feel the same way, that, at this point in my life, I can't afford PD symptoms, but I still must still carry on, no matter how I feel! It is overwhelming, and, sometimes, I get a little relief, when my daughter comes over to help. I'm thankful for that!!
