Hi I have been recently diagnosed. 2018 has been a horrible year. I finally got help after a horrendous fall down the stairs where I broke a bone in my lower back. I now live in constant fear of falling again. The anxiety has taken over my life so really struggling. I finally started physio this week and hoping it will help to get up and moving again. I have an amazing supportive family but still feel very alone at times.
Hi Sophieh you will never be alone on here being diagnosed with pd is scary but if you need help or just need to chat your in the right place if I can help please do get back to me

Hi Raz
Thank you for responding I am not very good at small steps and always seem to focus on what I can’t do leaving me feeling sad and worthless. I think it’s something I am going to have to work on.
Thanks it’s already been helpful reading all the posts and knowing there are others who understand
Kind regards Kim
