Guys. I just wanted to say that I’m so reliant on this community as a source of information, inspiration, comfort and recognition. I’ve never known any other forum. This has been my ‘home’ for 8? Years now and I wanted to thank you all for being ‘there’. It’s strange because I hard ever go to or contact my local community ‘in the flesh’. I’m not proud of this but initially it struck me as being essentially a group of ex carers whose spouse had died but they felt the need to still belong? And they’re obsessed with ‘fund raising’ with seemingly little real reflection on whether a cure will ever be feasible. Anyway..,..,..I’m ranting.

As I’m here and discussing community, has anybody heard from dear Doug Magee recently? I noticed his absence and sent him an email 3 days ago, but haven’t heard anything back from him yet. Such a kind soul; hope he’s okay.

Best wishes for Friday, Jeeves.

Every victory over the disease is a victory for all of us who share the same destiny, ... "to see the stars again" 🌟🌟🌟

Greetings also to the great Doug Magee!

Hi, yes we don’t belong to a PD local group, my husband was never keen.

We do belong to focus groups at the hospital he attends and have been on a few studies. Locally we know a couple of people with PD but most of my contact is also through this website, which we ve been so grateful for.

Good luck tomorrow Jeeves, wish you all the best for your ‘switch on’, can’t wait to hear how it goes.
