Hello
My name is Phil. I just turned 80 and I live in Battle. I was diagnosed with PD about 2 years ago.
I live alone and miss my freedom, companionship and just having someone to talk to.
Loneliness is the worst feeling.
Phil

Hello Phil, I felt sad when i read your text and I do hope you start getting replies soon. Maybe everyone is enjoying the lovely weather. My husband was also diagnosed 2 years ago and Im now his carer and I also get lonely at time. Maybe if you tell us a little bit more about yourself you may find someone who has the same interests. Good luck.

Hi Phil
You’re right, loneliness is the worst feeling. I’m a PD carer, not a sufferer but my life is about to change dramatically - from 24/7 carer to nothing as my husband with PD needs to go into a care hme. I live in a city and will need to rethink my life as it’s not the friendliest place. Meantime I listen to Radio 4 and busy myself with the endless paperwork. Chat forums like this one are helpful.
