Hello Thomasg2
JaniceP is quite right in what she said, everyone reacts to their diagnosis in their own way. I don’t believe it’s because you have no feelings. I think it is either you are not ready to take on board all the implications of living with a condition like Parkinson’s so your brain more or less shuts down on the subject or, and I think more likely in your case, you simply have the ability to absorb difficult news without undue emotion which most would struggle to understand. Just because many people are totally shocked by such news, struggle to make sense of it and don’t see any future for themselves plenty more react entirely differently. There’s no right or wrong way to react to your diagnosis or indeed any other aspect of Parkinson’s, the only way that matters is that which is unique to you, whatever that might be.
