Hi Rob,my husband has PSP,although we dont live NZ our daughter does,and we are visiting end of Oct,she lives on the South island.How long has your wife been diagnosed! Hope you do find someone on the site in NZ,but you can always chat to us.As more people join you never know where they hail from. Take care Linda

Hi Lindan

Kathy was diagnosed May 2010, we were "luckier" than some as the Neurologist picked it up almost first visit. Her loss of mobility and speech issues have developed quite quickly. The speech is major for her as she is a Lecturer at one of the University's here in Auckland.

Hope you enjoy your visit and glad to see you are coming after all the Rugby madness is over.

Cheers

Rob

Hi Rob,

We have been watching the Rugby on Tv we actually live in the town of Rugby.Yes we too feel lucky in respect we had a quick diagnosis and Terrys PSP is the slow one ,so we are still able to do most things,although his speech is going a bit now and his balance isnt good and he gets very tired easily.We shall have a wonderful time inNZ our 3rd visit.You and Kathy take care all the best.

Hi Kate

Thank you for replying. How is it going with your relative?

Kathy is slowing down and the fatigue is getting worse.
