Good little film, inspirational woman.. I... - Cure Parkinson's
Good little film, inspirational woman.. I'm sure many can relate to.
Thank you for posting that. Yes, this is a hard way to go.
Thank you for that. I worry about a lot of the same things... taking too long in the bathroom trying to button my clothes or too long in the grocery line trying to put my wallet away. I’m usually patient with other people and a quick story...,, I was in the grocery line , two people a head of me . The gentleman being checked out was tremoring very extreme, even had to hang on to the card machine to put his debit card in. I decided I was going to ask if he needed help with his groceries. I got closer and asked him if he needed help and told him I have Parkinson’s too. I was immediately confronted with a “I DON’T HAVE PARKINSONS , I AM JUST TIRED AND HAVE HAD TOO MUCH CAFFEINE BEFORE I LEFT THE HOUSE! I said ok well I’m sure glad that’s the case bc I know what it’s like . He was in total denial but clearly he was having difficulty but would not except help. I know it took me a while to accept my PD but I’ve learned not to ask if someone else needs help. I left feeling kinda of hurt but kind of embarrassed bc he yelled at me. Everyone has a story and felling not confident in situations. Again thank you for posting that small film. Karen
I hope you won't let one person sour you. It's not personal, it's something going on with him and anyone trying to help him would get the same response probably. But don"t let his behavior win. I have people offer to help me frequently. I don't often accept as I'd rather do things myself while I can but I always try to show appreciation for the offer. It's nice to know if I do need help likely there would be someone willing to do so.

Thank you for posting...it filled my heart!
The impression that i got from that film that the woman was alone. I feel bad for her if she is alone. I'm young onset but I get so much support from family and friends. I credit my desire to see my kids grow up and spending time with my family to how well I am doing.
Not alone she has a dog, like me. It it would be nce to have a supportive family but a supportive dog is much more reliable. I was diagnosed a year ago at age 75 and this was my first experience of the NHS with the serious illness I am not impressed. If you are alone then all you need is an advanced Care Plan and have your funeral arranged , I am also fortunate in that my doodle is a lovely dog and it has been easy to arrange for someone else to care for her should I not be able to do so.
