Good morning all.
It's been good to read some of your posts.
I was diagnosed last month. I am 49 years old, and I have had symptoms for at least a couple of years. I am a nurse, and I work 4 days a week. Luckily, my job does not have too much clinical component, as I find using my left hand is tricky. I have two children, but one has left home for university now. My other child is 14, and she has been really quite supportive and mature for her age. My partner and family have been tremendously supportive. I feel for my parents, as it has been hard for them...
Me, I'm not looking too far ahead. Things are good for now, so I'll enjoy them while I can. I just started on medication last month, and I feel so free of all that stiffness. It's like a new lease of life!
Kindest regards, Frock

Hi Frock and welcome to the forum.. It's so good to hear that you have a support network around you. Like your parents, my Mother has found my dx 2 years ago hard to take on board - seems no matter how old you are Mum's still worry about you. I hope you find the forum as helpful and friendly as it has for me.
Best wishes and maybe catch up with you around the forum

Hello frock, welcome to the forum, you certainly seem to have the right attitude to this living with PD and I'm sure that will stand you in good stead along the PD road.
You will find lots of support and advice on the forum and I hope to chat to you along the way.

Hello and welcome the forum Frock. You certainly seem to have the right attitude to your condition, it will stand you good stead as you take your PD road. Family and friends support is indeed a wonderful fulfilling thing to have, as is the support of people who are taking the same road as yourself. It's always good to know that somebody actually does fully understand what your feeling and experiencing.
I hope that can chat sometime along the way.

Thank you for your best wishes. I am finding it really helpful to know that others are coping, in a similar situation to me, similar age, with kids, and family. Thanks, Frock
