My Dad was finally diagnosed with PSP in December last year after being misdiagnosed with Parkinsonism. Since June 2018 he has lived at a Nursing Home but has steadily being going downhill. The hard part is that I live overseas so I don't get to spend nearly as much time as I would like with him. I am trying to find anybody on this group who are based in the Midlands where he is so that when I do fly over to visit him, I could possible meet up for a coffee and a chat.

Hi, I'm in Staffordshire - I lost my dad almost two years ago to PSP. It must be very hard for you to be so far away. That's a great picture of your dad!
