Thank you for these. I am newly diagnosed, about two weeks now, and still acclimating my thoughts and self awareness. I retired from my position as pastor two years ago for a few reasons, but a big part of it was just feeling like something wasn't right, thinking maybe I gained an anxiety disorder. Again, thank you so much. I am fortunate to have been sent to a skilled and compassionate neurologist.
Gawd, if only I had a fiver for every time I've been told how well I look. On the other hand my reaction to diagnosis was different. I had been misdiagnosed and had been through the grieving process, for that is what it had felt like, already. I have no reluctance to tell people. I find it helps as my symptoms are quite visible and telling the truth prevents speculation. My divorce initially devastated me but in the long run it has been for the best. I won't go into details but I'm not sure she quite understood. Now I have a wonderful support group of fellow patients and their carers. I am now feeling ready,, perhaps, to start a new relationship. Our local branch has a very active, sociable group for younger patients. The branch is very active generally and there aren't many days when there is no activity on some level. However I felt the same as you on my first branch meeting, as did others in what we now call the Movers and Shakers. Thank you for making this video I am sure many will find it a great help. I wish you nothing but the very best for the future.
Thank you so much for being so honest about your feelings and to share your experience so genuinely! It will definitely help many people with PD to know they are not alone in how they feel and how they tackle this diagnosis. Wishing you strength and courage to fight this battle as best as you can! You are amazingly inspiring! 👏🙏
What a lovely sensitive man you are🙏
