An important part of raising #awareness of PSP & CBD is sharing #personalexperiences.
Here, Dawn Heywood shares her experience of when her dad, Noel was diagnosed with #PSP:
"When dad first started to show changes in his personality we thought it was because retirement was making him bored and frustrated. The impact of the ongoing knee pain and medication he was taking for this was also a consideration. Initially dad became suspicious and paranoid whilst he was at home and his speech was slurring a bit. On holiday in Lanzarote, dad started to have falls. Mum had really noticed a change in his walking stance. He no longer walked upright, he leaned forward and seemed to shuffle.
"The GP was pretty good and recognised it could be a neurological condition. Following tests for dementia and Parkinson's, we were referred to the Walton Centre, who said it could be PSP. Dad's PSP diagnosis came in 2016, after two years of testing."
