Hi my Name is Samantha
And i look after my mum who has parkinsons for 5 years.
Looking forward to reading other members views and experiences and hopefully lean more and share.
and support from other members right now would be great as i dont no any one who looks after any one with parkinsons.
Thanks

Hi Samantha
I agree with Mosie: there are many understanding carers on this site who will reply to you, I'm sure. You are certainly not alone.
How is your mum?

Hello Samantha and welcome,
I have been a carer for my husband for the last thirty years, he is in a nursing home now but you still have to be very "hands on " all the time.
Please post on here any problems you may have or when you just need a chat as it helps to know that there are people out there for you and your Mum.
You will gets lots of help to get you both through the various stages of this condition,you do not say how hold your mum is, it would be useful as people vary so much and it can be quite different for younger members.
Best wishe to you both

Hello and welcome Sammy, I'm sure that you will get support from other carers on the site ass they are a very supportive bunch of people.
You say that you have been caring for you mum for five years and I wondered if that has that been on a full time basis, if you have it can be very draining for you?
You may want to contact your mums GP and of your local CAB to inquire if there are any carers support groups in your locality that may be able to offer you face to face support.
You don't say whether you live with your mum, so I also wonder just how much time off from caring that you are getting as you really need to take some time out for yourself.
Do keep in touch and let us know how things are.
