Anyone else has something to share or to ask? Don't be shy, we are here to help each other.
@MrsPeanut, @Peter888, @rooneytoomey, @Daisysnan, @EmmyJay, what could you tell us about helping your relative/friend with Parkinson's disease?
Hello i am the one with parkinsons disease, ad the frustrating part about it is, that somedays yo may have a period were you feel absolutely fine, and the peope who care for you often seem to think that youare ok and that you dont really have a problem, but they dont often see the times when i am unable to walk, when you are weak and your dexterity and co ordination are such that you can not hold on to something without dropping it,
And so i feel as if i am expectedat times to carry out tasks that are often too difficult or impossible to do, because on the times that i am feeling relativelrry out those tassy ok, i do m best to carry out those tasks.
Now I am not bitter about getting parkinsons as very often in life you simply have to play the hand your dealt, but i could do with a little more understanding

I'm a carer for my father who was diagnosed two years ago. I admit I feel guilty sometimes because I just want to have a "normal" day. It can be really hard sometimes to be a carer because a lot of responsibility falls on you, but no one really asks how you are or if you need something.
I don't resent my father at all, but sometimes the situation is just overwhelming. I know no one will see this but just felt like talking about it somewhere.
