I muttered something about having a problem. She asked when it would stop and I said I didn't have it all the time.
Anyone else had to face this?

Just when I thought I was having a really good spell at the moment with few symptoms, six year old granddaughter comes out with 'I've just noticed that your hand is shaking Nanny. Why?'

When my granddaughter asked what was wrong I told her that I had Parkinsons and just the basic facts. She wanted to know was I going to die . I told her that not for a very long time and that she wasn't to worry as I had no intentions of missing out on her growing up. Parkinsons UK have a very good booklet called grandmas got Parkinsons
Thanks for that Steph. The six year old is very into dying and death at the moment so I am surprised she didn't ask me. I will deffinitely get a copy of the booklet.
Have a good week

Hi to all
Agree booklet is very good.
We have 2 granddaughter's now 4 and 8. as o/h diagnosed 10 years ago they have both grown up with bampy with PD. From the 'mouth of babes 'as they say the little one a few months ago asked o/h why he walks like a monster sometimes lol she is not concerned just so matter of fact , initially he felt upset that she saw him in that but laughter in a way clears any tension. and it certainly is not said disrespectfully .
They are both really helpful o/h has a meds alarm to remind him when to take, they both get if for him and his dosette box they just accept that is the way it is .
Sadly the little one,s Dad died when she was only 8 months old and she is now struggling with Mum (my daughter) not coming back to collect her from nursery when she is at work and she talks about death quite a lot but she has never asked o/h about dying although he has been in hospital quite a lot lately, we don't always give kids credit, their minds work in very clever ways.
