I am looking for other people in a similar position to me. I had a heart attack earlier in the year and have been in consultation with my Cardiac surgeon and Neurologist about treatment/surgery options and potential issues due to Parkinson’s. Currently surgery is being ruled out due to the risks and the issues are going to be managed with medication. What are other peoples experiences? Have you had surgery and what have been the issues? Thanks
Hi Clare,
Please allow us a moment to welcome you to our forum community. It’s a lovely group of people who always have some wisdom to share, some of whom are bound to introduce themselves soon. We’d also like to make sure you’re aware of the resources we provide, along with the forum. We have a website with research, articles, and archived forum threads, here: https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/. We also have a free and confidential helpline staffed with advisers who can help with everything from medication questions to finding local support, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. You can reach them at 0808 800 0303, so please do reach out if you have any questions unaddressed here.
I’m sure other members will jump in to welcome you. Meanwhile, I’d encourage you to look around and see what you discover.
All our best,
Jem
