Hi, I’m David, I had Parkinson’s diagnosis yesterday following initial DAT Scan negative result. It was a shock, first I thought I had it then cleared then the bad news.
I’m in my late 40s with a younger wife and two little boys. I’m feeling quite positive as I finally have a reason for all the unpleasant symptoms over the last 10 years.
I work split between home and overseas, i’m going to continue with that and enjoy it while I can…I’ve read many stories and tips on this forum and I intend to make the most of every moment I can. The flowers look especially bright this Spring (well we are nearly there)
I agree with Knine, your positive attitude will definitely take you a long way and I’m sure your optimism will inspire others.
We have a newly diagnosed section on our website which has a lot of information that will be useful to you including where you can receive help and support. Please feel free to take a look in your own time.
Thanks for the reply from Knine and Reah Today I’m working on starting up a football exercise weekly kickabout. It’s aimed at veterans (45+) for gentle building up fitness and the positivity it brings.
Today I’ve been navigating the forum…great to see so much love out there.
