My husband has recently been diagnosed with PD st age 72. He has some tremors in both arms, the right worse than left but so far is able to function as he always has. He has rheumatoid arthritis in his hands which has caused some weakening. So apart from having to open jars and bottles for him, so far so good. My husband has declined meds at the m9ment because he feels he can cope with symptoms.
I’m very anxious about our future and a recent visit to the GP brought home how much our lives could change.
He experienced his first myoclonic spasm this morning resulting in orange juice everywhere. Can anyone advise if this something which will definitely become more common?
