Hello @Littlenanny, thank you for your post. We hope former care professionals on the forum can share their personal experiences to help, as people who really get what it feels like.
We understand it must be hard for you to accept that you need help or ask for support. It can be a hard step to admit this. And you won’t be alone in feeling this way.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. We’re at the end of the phone if you’d like to speak to our trained advisers or Parkinson’s nurses who can listen to how you’re feeling and support with information and advice about all aspects of living with Parkinson’s. Call us for free on: 0808 800 0303. We are open Monday to Friday: 9 am to 6 pm and Saturday: 10 am to 1 pm.
You can also find what groups, support and social activities are available near you on our website to help build your community of like-minded people who are in a similar position to you: Parkinson's UK groups | Parkinson's UK
Take care

Hi Littlenanny,
So good to hear from you.
You haven’t said what your symptoms are, mild, …
We are here to help each other, as we all go through different things, but there will definitely be someone on the group who is going through what you are.
Remember as you know PD is different for everyone and
something that may work for one person may not work for others. That includes medication, strength etc.
As you were a care professional you know how important it is to talk to people who know the situation and can give advice or simply be there for you.
You haven’t said if you did deal with people with PD or not, so it is slightly difficult to know what to say.
Hi Clive V
So sorry I haven’t responded to you sooner! As im sure you appreciate things get caught up with PD, I have all the usual symptoms and more besides, which I am not overly comfortable with sharing on an open platform, which I am sure you understand, yes I did work with some PWP, I used to be the manager of several day centres for mixed abilities.
I am having a hard time adjusting to being on the other side of the fence!
I just wondered if there were other people out there with a similar mindset or situation?
