Hello
My name is Katy, I was diagnosed with early onset parkinsons 2 years ago at the age of 44, I didn’t really have time to take it in as my father died suddenly and expectedly 6 months prior then my mum and nephew were both unwell. I was initially managing my symptoms ok but they seem worse the last few months, I am very scared as I work full time as a paediatric a&e nurse and no longer can fulfill the duties of the role, my manager has used the term ‘burdening the team’ and i am worried about loosing my job as i have a mortgage and bills to pay, I live alone, i was so proud 4 years ago to achieved buying my first property without help, I have no family support as my mum is mentally unwell and my siblings dont care, i have been crying alot the last month and having panic attacks and unable to work, im looking to be redeployed but work say they arent obliged to help me, i am not really qualified in anything else and have been refused PIP Twice, i feel so alone as cant find anyone my age that understands and neurology support is hard to access.
