Newly diagnosed

Hi ,
I am a thirty nine year old man who's just had datscan results back . The letter says that the scan showed changes that suggest a Parkinsonian condition . I'm going to see consultant next week to discuss treatment options . Hoping I respond well to it obviously . I would like to hear from anyone in the same situation. I could also do with some advice on applying for ESA . My statutory sick pay will stop in about four weeks ! Thank you for reading:grin:
