Hi=Bert Don't be afraid to open up because everyone understands and suffers in so many different ways.
My husband has been diagnosed for 5 years but looking back he has obviously unknowingly been living alongside Parkinsons for many years .
Don't give up on any medication you often don't see that much difference for quite some time .

Welcome Bert,

Sorry you have reason to be here, but glad you found people to reach out to for help. Have found posting, interacting with other PWP, to be very comforting and reassuring. Life does go on. Please share here and ask all the questions you need to, people will be glad to listen and share knowledge. Best wishes, Lin2

Hi Bert! Welcome to the Forum, - I'm a newbie as well, but I hope to join in with any advice I could give anyone, as I would welcome opinions on problems myself. I first noticed a tremor in 2003, but I wasn't diagnosed until 2005. How about you? Have you a local support group? We have, and I find it a help to mix with others who have the same problems.

A very warm welcome bert. I think I may have "spoken" to you before? You will, I hope , find forum members supportive, & generous with their information gained from experience. And never say sorry for needing help
My very best wishes

Hi Bert and welcome! If ever you are in need of a bit of cheering up just log on to Creative Corner or Social Club. Always try to stay cheerful. I know Parkinson's may not seem like a suitable subject for humour but I think that sometimes it helps to be able laugh at yourself.

Do keep in touch.

Hi Bert
I was dx last Oct and have found hard,but the forum and people on it have been a great help.
I dont post often, but just reading everybody else threads is a big help, and I have recently contacted
the helpline about my meds etc and found it really useful.

all the best Adrian
