Gay Parkies

Living with Parkinson's Carers, friends and family

I was diagnosed in 2010. My partner and I are gay men in our 50s. We Have a great, local, early-onset support group but do not know any gay pd folk. Are there any gay couples who would like to say hello to us...here in Somerset..... or anywhere? :neutral_face:

We are very keen to make the most of life and swap ideas with other couples. We enjoy eating out, swimming, cinema, collecting, countryside, shopping, Cornwall ,conversation and reading. My symptoms are manageable and the meds help a lot.

It would be good to meet one day but in the meantime laptop chat would be good..:grin:.

Ian.

Hi Andrew,

I just wanted to mention that there is a Parkinson’s UK group for LGBTQIA+ people with Parkinson’s who meet online monthly. I’m not sure if you are already aware of it, but please drop me a line if you would be interested in joining and I can send you the details.

Thanks
Paul
