Welcome always sad when I hear how young people are on dx. My hubby dx 18yrs at 48 and some of the dreadful things you have gone through ring true in our case, but we are still here he has a very positive outlook that has seen US both through. Goodluck in your new life and relationships love does help . Take care and prosper x

Bless you I hope things go swinging now (not quite literally) for you and your family.

Life can be a bugger at times.

I wish you all the very best.

You might benefit from reading some of the articles written by Michael J. Fox as he was also very young when diagnosed. I think he is to be admired as he seems to have the ability to hang in there and keep fighting. I love Dundee, my grandfather was born there and I was fortunate enough to visit Scotland a few years ago, beautiful!!

Yes, Michael J. is a fighter, he has raised a great deal of money for research. also has a very good website, don't remember the addresss but you can google him. My grandfather lived at 3 Somerville Place in Dundee, he came to the US when he was 19 (many years ago).

Welcome to this blog site. It's amazing and always there for me. I was diagnosed on my son's birthday at the end of October this year at the age of 55. Having contacted Parkinson's UK for as much info about Parkinson's as i want to read, i am slowly accepting that this disease is there for life but can be managed with medication. These days if i catch anyone looking at me i tell them straight that i have Parkinson's and that i am still the same person on the inside only with a few extras added. They now accept that i have problems with anxiety, tremor down my right side and general all over body stiffness. Sometimes i find that i want to say something and something totally different comes out of my mouth or i forget that i have already talked about something the day before and find that i sometimes repeat what i have said the day before. I see my neurologist next month so will have a fair amount to talk about with him. Merry Xmas everyone. Many thanks for the support that you all give me much appreciated.
