Introduction

Hello, my name is Lin Hughes. I am 76 and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s last year. I would love to discuss this condition with anyone and find out any symptoms that I have along with any advice. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Lin have you looked (via Parkinson’s UK) to see if you have a local support group operating in your area, you might find them very helpful. It’s my husband who has PD and diagnosed 14 years ago now. You will find along your journey that our friend Parkinson’s seems not to affect any 2 people the same. My husband and I volunteered and took part in a number of research projects (not all drugs) and found this very rewarding, something to think about. Best Wishes Jane
